By Chuck Thompson | The Shelby Independent

A morning school bus accident in Lawndale could have been much worse.

Trooper A.J. Osmer responded to the call Friday, at 7:24 a.m., not knowing what to expect when he arrived. Luckily all the children were okay.

The school bus was traveling west on E Main St / Stage Coach Trail, in Lawndale, when a red Hyundai Sonata traveling east crossed the center line and struck the school bus head-on.

Trooper Osmer said the driver of the red Hyundai Sonata was issued a citation for driving left of center and transported to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

This crash is still under investigation.
