A man was taken to the Shelby County Jail Monday morning after police say he crashed his car into a school bus and was intoxicated. Police say around 7:41 a.m., a vehicle driven by Jeffrey Ward was heading westbound on Polk approaching Tompkins. The Shelbyville Central School bus, which was carrying seven children and the bus driver, was heading southbound on Tompkins at Polk Street when the driver saw Ward approaching and noticed he wasn’t slowing down. According to a release, the bus driver tried to alert Ward by honking her horn, but Ward didn’t slow down or stop for the stop sign.
