Truck hits special education school bus in Idaho. Students, bus driver taken to hospital
Treasure Valley students were taken to the hospital after a school bus accident Monday morning.
A pickup truck struck a Nampa School District special education bus carrying a “handful of students” at about 7:20 a.m., Nampa School District spokesperson Matthew Sizemore told the Idaho Statesman.
The crash occurred near the 8th Avenue South and 2nd Street South intersection in northwest Nampa, according to a Nampa Police Department social media post.
Two students and the bus driver were transported to the hospital with injuries that Sizemore said were “minor” and “non-life-threatening.”
The truck driver was cited for a stop-sign violation, Sizemore said.
Police said the accident caused roadway delays, but law enforcement cleared all lanes by 8:50 a.m.
The Nampa Police Department did not respond to the Statesman’s request for additional information.
