A school bus driver and a student went to the hospital after the bus missed a curve and rolled into a field.
It happened just before 7:00 a.m. at the intersection of County Road F and 50th Avenue, just west of Chippewa Falls. Investigators say the student and the driver were sent to the hospital as a precaution, and that the injuries aren't considered serious. Everyone on Bus 331 got out on their own through the broken windshield. Captain Eugene Gutsch with the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department says the bus was going too fast for conditions as it went around a curve.
Earlier Monday morning the Chippewa County Sheriff's Department told WEAU 13 NEWS that two kids were sent to the hospital but now says only one student and the bus driver were sent to the hospital.
The bus was the only vehicle involved. Six kids were on the bus at the time of the crash. Chippewa Falls Superintendent Mike Schoch says the student was treated and released from a hospital. A spokesman for Chippewa Yellow Bus says driver Mary Martin also was taken to a hospital.
Yellow Bus Safety Director Kurt Nelson says Martin has 22 years of experience and a good safety record. The accident remains under investigation.
