A single-vehicle accident involving a Christian County school bus Monday morning on Old Madisonville Street in Crofton injured eight students and the driver.
It happened just before 7 a.m. near the KY 800 intersection and officials say all of the victims complained of minor injuries and were transported by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
The Christian County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash. Deputy Chris Miller says the bus driver had been southbound when he traveled off the left shoulder of the road and crashed.
The Christian County Public School System says the bus was carrying students to Crofton Elementary, Christian County Middle and Christian County High School.
Superintendent Chris Bentzel says, “As always, the safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority. We have remained in close contact with the 8 students, their families, and the driver who were transported for medical evaluation this morning. Thankfully, all preliminary reports indicate there were no serious injuries. We are grateful for the first responders and personnel who assisted our students and all who quickly responded to the scene. We wish our students and driver a speedy recovery and will continue to seek updates from them.”
