RIDE FOR STUDENTS HEADED TO
ROLESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL THIS

OF THE ROAD HERE ON DOT PROCTOR
ROAD A LITTLE AFTER 6.30, THIS
MORNING. INVESTIGATORS

SOME KID HAD THE ONE THAT I'VE
GOTTEN THEIR LEAD.

HAVE ALL HAD LIKE BACK PAIN.
MASON ROBERTSON TELLS ME IT WAS
A SCARY SITUATION, NOT KNOWING
WHAT EXACTLY WAS GOING ON THE
BUS. I WENT UP IN THE AIR AND
STARTED SHAKING.
>> AND THEN THE SURGEON TO THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD. WOW. WHAT WAS
GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN
ALL THAT WAS ASKED, WHAT'S
GOING ON?
IS THIS A CAN SAY CAN PARENTS
CAME TO PICK THEIR STUDENTS UP
FROM THE SCENE AND ANOTHER
VEHICLE WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN
THE CRASH. STATE HIGHWAY PATROL
SAYS HEAVY FOG PLAYED A FACTOR.

BOARD. 3 HAD MINOR INJURIES.
THE BUS DRIVER WAS TAKING OUT
ON A STRETCHER. BUT WE'RE TOLD
THAT THAT PERSON IS DOING OK,
STATE HIGHWAY PATROL IS
INVESTIGATING THE CRASH.
