BBBTV12 Serving Anderson, Roane, and Morgan Counties
Just after 4:00 p.m. on Monday, a Roane County school bus was involved in a collision with a car on Mountain View Road. Fortunately, none of the students on the bus were injured, although the bus sustained significant damage to its front and nearly went over an embankment following the impact.
The car involved in the crash was carrying a female driver and an 8-year-old child, both of whom were transported to a local hospital by private vehicle. They both received severe bruising and are extremely sore from the accident.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) is currently investigating the incident, and further details, including the identities of the drivers and the determination of fault, will be provided once the final report is released.
I had three babies on this bus. I am so thankful that all the students on the bus walked away with no injuries. My thoughts and prayers are with the mother and her 8 year old child.
