Students, Driver, and Teachers Injured In Hit-and-run
November 3, 2011
The excitement of a bus-load of school children headed for a field trip to Mammoth Cave National Park was cut short Thursday when a tractor-trailer hit their bus and drove away. According to Channel 25 News, the accident happened along Interstate 65 near Cave City, Kentucky, at 8:46 AM this morning.
Witnesses say the big-rig truck side-swiped the bus with its trailer and took off down the road, prompting Kentucky State Troopers to begin a search of the area for the truck. The bus driver was not able to get the license number from the truck, as it all happened so fast and rainy weather made it difficult to see.
The bus, carrying 17 fourth-graders from Louisville Collegiate School and their two teachers, stopped immediately to get help for those injured aboard the bus. The entire group was taken to T.J. Sampson Hospital in Glasgow to be treated for non-life threatening injuries such as broken bones. Later, two students were taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, and one adult went to the University of Louisville Hospital.
