Narrative of Accident No Injury or Fatality-- But a VERY CLOSE CALL!!!  My 5 year old daughter was about to cross the road to our driveway, the safety arm on the bus was extended and my daughter was watching for the driver to signal for her to cross and he had not signaled her yet and started to drive away-- my daughter jumped back out of the way-- I was screaming that she had not crossed yet and to stop and waving my arms-- the driver saw me and was visibly shaken-- he is a grandfather and a good person-- but upon discussion with the transportation supervisor he admitted that he was distracted by kids in the back of the bus and did not follow protocol.  My daughter was crying and very upset as was I.  I called the superintendent and am trying to get the route changed so that my daughter does not have to cross over-- all the houses on our road are on our side and no children should have to cross over the road--I an so thankful that my daughter jumped back and that angels were watching over her!  I want seatbelts on ALL buses and live BUS MONITORS persons aboard all buses to control children and assist with drop offs and pickups so that the driver can concentrate on driving and roadway conditions.

Narrative of Accident HOUSE SPRINGS, Mo. Three children are being treated for moderate injuries after their school bus was in an accident that could've been a lot worse.

Authorities in Jefferson County, Missouri, say the bus flipped onto its side and went into a creek bed. Investigators say one of the tires apparently went off the edge of the road this morning, and the driver couldn't regain control.

Nine kids, ranging from kindergartners to sixth-graders, were aboard at the time. Three have bumps, bruises and possibly some broken bones. The other children, plus the driver, were taken to a hospital to be checked.
