CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Bradley County authorities shut down a section of Spring Place Road for more than two hours Friday afternoon when a car collided with a school bus about 4 p.m. and injured four people.
The car hit close to the back wheel on the driver’s side of the bus, Bradley County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bob Gault said.
About 35 students — mostly middle-schoolers — were on the bus. Two children suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the car was airlifted to Erlanger hospital with serious injuries, and another child, a passenger in the car, was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
It appears the bus was trying to make a left turn at the intersection of Spring Place and Kile Lake Lane — a couple miles from Lake Forest Middle School — when the car slammed into its side, Gault said.
