On Tuesday morning, a woman had to be airlifted to Mission Hospital after she rear-ended a school bus in Henderson County. According to the Times-News Online, there were about 20 children on the bus at the time of the crash. The incident happened at about 7:36 a.m., when a school bus stopped to pickup students at Ferenvilla Drive. Another school bus stopped behind that bus, and was suddenly rear-ended by a small car.

Very few details have been released about how this crash happened. Why didn’t the driver stop in time? Could it have been a case of distracted driving? Was the driver unable to stop due to a mechanical problem? At least one child was taken to the hospital for evaluation, and the woman driver’s injuries were described as “non-life-threatening.” The driver was reportedly charged with failing to reduce speed.
