HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A Hutchinson USD 308 school bus was involved in a two-vehicle accident this morning just east of the National Guard armory on East 11th.
According to Hutchinson Police, the bus was northbound on Baker turning left onto 11th, and the truck was eastbound on 11th. Police say the driver of the truck had the sun in his eyes and didn’t see the traffic light at the intersection. There were 10 children on the bus at the time of the crash. The bus was on its way to both Hutchinson High School and Graber Elementary School.
Originally, no injuries were reported by EMS who examined the children at the accident scene, but EMS was summoned to Graber Elementary just before 9:30 after a student was apparently having some difficulty that was possibly related to the accident. That student has been taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.
