(KAIR)--One Atchison County student was transported to the Atchison Hospital following a Friday morning accident involving a USD 377 school bus.
A report from the Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened shortly after 7:00 on U.S. Highway 73, 5 miles west of Atchison.
A car, driven behind the bus by 21-year-old Skylar Coady, of Atchison, failed to slow down when the bus slowed to turn south on Lincoln Road, causing Coady’s Chevrolet Impala to rear end the bus.
Coady, as well as 12-year-old Dylan Mullins, of Atchison, were both taken to the Atchison Hospital for evaluation of what the Patrol identified as suspected minor injuries.
The bus driver, 56-year-old Kimberly Myers, of Lancaster, was not hurt.
12 students, including Mullins, were on board the bus at the time of the wreck.
In a Tweet Friday morning, USD 377 gave “thanks to all those that assisted” the students and driver following the collision.
USD 377 had a bus get rear-ended this morning transporting students to school at HWY 73 & Lincoln Rd. All parents of students involved have been notified. Thanks to all those that assisted our students and driver during this incident. The support of Atchison County is strong.
