(Dearborn County, IN) — Indiana State Police say at least 21 people are injured after a school bus crashed into a dump truck. Superintendent of Dearborn County Commuter Schools Eric Lowes says the majority of those injured were students.
The school bus driver and dump truck driver were also injured. Police and ambulance crews are at the crash site this morning in Dearborn County, which is about 45 minutes west of Cincinnati. Medical helicopters were requested at the scene, but couldn’t fly due to snow showers. The bus is from the South Dearborn Community School District and Lowes said the students were from several different schools in the area. He added they are being treated at area hospitals with one student transported to a Cincinnati hospital with severe injuries.
Parents of the students involved have been contacted by the district. The dump truck company says its driver was outside of the vehicle serving customers when the truck was rear-ended by the school bus.
