Hospital Checks on Four Students
March 30, 2007
NOLENSVILLE — At least 11 children were
on a Williamson County school bus that rolled off a narrow road and
landed on its side Thursday afternoon.
No student on the bus was seriously
injured, according to Mike Browning, spokesman for the Tennessee Highway
Patrol.
Four were taken to Williamson Medical
Center for evaluations. The others were picked up by their parents.
| The accident occurred at
approximately 3:30 p.m. near the intersection of Rocky Fork and
Rocky Springs roads, just outside the town of Nolensville.
Williamson County schools
spokeswoman Carol Birdsong said there were 11 students on the
bus when it teetered and landed on a grassy shoulder.
Browning said 13 students were on
the bus. The bus was taking students home from Woodland Middle
School and Ravenwood High School. |
Four students were taken to
Williamson Medical Center after their bus veered off the road
and ended up on its side Thursday just outside of Nolensville. A
Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman said none of the four
suffered serious injuries. |
"There was another car coming down the
road," Browning said.
"There was no contact between the
vehicles. The (bus) driver got off to the side, and the bus overturned
in a ditch area."
"What I was told was a car was topping
the hill and the bus swerved to miss the car," Birdsong said, adding
that a team of investigators for the school system's transportation
department was working with law enforcement officials to determine what
happened.
Browning said neither driver was facing
criminal charges. He said the incident was still being investigated.
