The Lancaster County School District’s Safety & Transportation Office say the bus was hit by two separate vehicles before losing control and traveling about 30ft into the woods off of Harrisburg Road in Indian Land.
The driver, Judy Carter, had just finished her route and was alone when the crash occurred. She received serious injuries and is expected to survive.
Bryan Vaughn, Lancaster County School District Safety & Transportation, took to social media releasing the video of the accident saying, “Once you see this you will see why we are so concerned about bus travel in inclement weather. Just imagine the risks when there are 70 kids on the bus and if we were in icy weather or a thunderstorm.”
