GARNETT — A motorist apparently was killed Friday afternoon in an accident involving a USD 257 school bus near Garnett Friday afternoon.

In a Facebook posting, the Anderson County Review said a witness saw a northbound car on U.S. 59 lose control and leave the roadway. 

The driver then over-corrected and spun around into the path of the southbound bus, the witness said.

The bus, carrying Lincoln Elementary School fourth-garders, was returning to Iola from a Kansas City field trip, a USD 257 employee told the Register.

One student on the bus was being checked for “possible injuries,” the employee said.

Emergency personnel were on the scene at press time. No other information was available.

 

At least one other passenger in the car was taken from the scene in an ambulance, the witness told the Review.
