Three injured car/school bus crash

Franklin County, In. — Three students suffered minor injuries in a car/school bus crash on Tuesday on U.S. 52 just west of State Road 121.

A report from the sheriff’s department says Scott Gray, 23, of Laurel, was eastbound on State Road 121 when he became distracted and struck the back of a school bus driven by Cole Meyers, 21, of Laurel, while students were preparing to board.

The investigation determined the bus had the amber flashing lights eliminated, but the collision occurred before the red lights and stop arm had been deployed.

Three teenagers were transported to Fayette Regional Hospital with minor injuries.
