No children were seriously hurt, but
the driver of another vehicle was injured when a school bus
overturned Tuesday morning in Jefferson County.
About two dozen children in
kindergarten through sixth grade were on the bus heading to Maple
Grove Elementary and Cedar Hill Intermediate schools in the
Northwest R-1 School District south of St. Louis, a school official
said.
The children, the bus driver and the
driver of the other vehicle were taken to St. Anthony's Medical
Center, said Sgt. Al Nothum with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
"The bus went off the road and down
an embankment," said Ken Rossics, director of administration for the
district which has about 7,000 students. But, he said, the students
and the bus driver did not suffer serious injuries.
The Highway Patrol said the other driver
appears to be seriously hurt. The accident, on a two-lane stretch of
Highway 30 outside of Dittmer near Cedar Hill, remains under
