SCHOOL BUS CRASH REPORTS 199938 Hurt in
School Bus Crash in Ohio SOUTH BLOOMFIELD, Ohio (AP) - A school bus carrying seventh-graders on a field trip flipped over on the side of a rural highway on Wednesday, injuring 38 students. The bus apparently slipped off the shoulder of the narrow two-lane road, and the driver overcorrected, Pickaway County Sheriff's Lt. J. Phillip Brown said. Most of the injured students and the driver had bumps and bruises. One child with a shoulder injury was in fair condition. Superintendent Ron Thornton said the students were on an annual field trip to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. ``We feel very fortunate that it wasn't worse,'' he said. ``Thank God for that.'' In Columbus, a bus carrying elementary school students was hit by a car turning in front of an oncoming truck. Six pupils on the bus and a driver in another vehicle were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. And in Minneapolis, two school buses crashed into each other Wednesday morning when one was traveling the wrong direction down a one-way street. The 17 children and three adults on the two buses were treated at a hospital and released. AP-NY-09-29-99
