On Wednesday morning, a school bus crash injured eight West Marion Elementary School students. The driver of a sedan crossed the centerline and struck the school bus head on. According to WLOS ABC News Channel 13, the McDowell County collision happened at about 7:30 a.m. at Whitson’s Curve.
The impact of the crash sent both vehicles off of the roadway, and the bus ended up in a ditch. Witnesses and emergency responders were swiftly on the scene assisting the children. The driver of the car, 40-year-old Randall Webb, was arrested and charged with DWI, although very few details have been released about the investigation.
Thankfully, none of the children’s injuries were initially described as serious. The team at Davis Law Group, P.A. wishes all of the children speedy and full recoveries from their injuries.
