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.
