HUMPHREYS COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — Four students suffered minor injuries Wednesday after a log truck hit a school bus from behind in Humphreys County.
The crash happened around 4:30 p.m. near Highway 231 and Mt. Zion Road.
According to a preliminary Tennessee Highway Patrol report, both vehicles were traveling south on Highway 231. The school bus had stopped to unload a child as the log truck was negotiating a right-hand curve.
THP said the log truck struck the rear of the bus, crossed the center line and traveled into a ditch, where it came to a stop. The bus remained at the point of impact.
Four students suffered minor injuries, but their parents declined emergency medical transport.
The preliminary report lists an unregistered vehicle charge for the log truck driver.
The crash remains under investigation by THP.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
