Eight Stevens County students injured in a bus slide-off accident early Wednesday were evaluated for non-life-threatening injuries in Spokane, according to the Mary Walker School District. Twenty-seven students were aboard school bus No. 6 when it slid onto its side south of Springdale, Wash. All passengers were evaluated by medical personnel at the scene and were either loaded onto another bus or released to parents or guardians, the district said. The roadway was described as a “sheet of ice” by law enforcement on scene during the incident, which occurred around 8 a.m.
Police are searching for one of the hit-and-run drivers who struck a 14-year-old girl who darted into traffic in a busy Orange County intersection. The crash happened Monday in Santa Ana. Surveillance video released Tuesday shows the teen trying to dodge cars at 17th and Bristol streets. First, she is struck by a red pick-up truck, and the driver speeds away. She is then struck again by a black car. Though the video shows her flying into the air and appearing to land on her upper shoulders, the girl suffered leg injuries and has been released from the hospital.
