Bus overturns, sends two to hospital

Thursday, September 29, 2011

A bus overturned in Taylor county sending two sisters to the hospital Tuesday morning.

A bus driver for the Medford school district pulled onto the shoulder of the road to let some students off. The tires went into the ditch, when the bus driver pulled over too far. At that point, the bus overturned and came to rest on its side.

Police believe gravel on the side of the road may have given way because of the recent rain.

At the time, there were 11 students on the bus. The injured sisters were taken from the scene by ambulance. They were treated and released.
