One person seriously hurt in crash with school bus

One person was hurt after a Friday afternoon crash involving a school bus and another vehicle. Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department, says that the crash occurred at about 3:45 p.m. near 15th Street and Gladstone Avenue. He says the driver of the vehicle, an unidentified female, suffered serious head injuries when her vehicle slammed into the bus and became lodged underneath it. She was transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis via Lifeline helicopter. Harris says that there were eight children on the bus at the time of the crash. Neither they, nor the bus driver, were hurt.

Columbus Police say that Gladstone Avenue, from 10th Street to 17th Street, remain closed as investigators reconstruct the accident and crews clean up the site.

We’ll have more information, including the identity of the driver, as it is released by the Columbus Police Department.
