Utah school bus hits Ford F-150 and sends kids flying 

Some kids in Utah just developed new core memories as the result of a school bus wreck. The driver was taking the loaded bus back to school after students enjoyed a day at the zoo. 

Then a Ford F-150 stopped to let a pedestrian cross the street as the bus plowed into the back of it. The incident occurred at 725 N. Main Street, southbound. The person wasn’t at a crosswalk, though. 

Pieces of metal and other debris from the truck busted through the front windshield of the bus. However, the bus driver wasn’t injured. 

The bus was carrying 54 elementary kids and 16 adults during the crash. The group jolted forward, bouncing in their seats and falling into the aisle. Two kids were evaluated by paramedics at the scene and released. 

According to Gephardt Daily, a 46-year-old man from West Valley City was driving the F-150. He was transported to a local hospital but remains in stable condition. 

Police officers shared that the bus driver was cited at the scene for following too closely. It’s unclear if they will be reprimanded by the school. 

Sargent Colbey Bentley, with the Tooele City Police Department reminds drivers to pay attention. He explained that it only takes a second to look away from the road, then a vehicle is suddenly stopped in front of you.
