SCHOOL BUS INVOLVED IN NEAR-ACCIDENT

Staff Report
 
A Wakulla County School bus was involved in an accident early Monday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The school bus with 28 passengers, driven by a 73-year-old man, was stopped at a stop sign on Dan Miller Road facing southbound. A motorcycle being ridden by a 52-year-old Crawfordville man was traveling westbound on Bloxham Cutoff.
The school bus failed to yield the right of way to the motorcycle as it turned left onto Bloxham Cutoff, according to FHP. This caused the motorcycle to overturn onto the right side. The school bus stopped on the south shoulder and the motorcycle came to final rest at Dan Miller Road. There was no collision between the two vehicles. The motorcyclist suffered minor injuries. There were no injuries reported to students on the school bus.
FHP does not release names of people involved in wrecks citing the agency’s interpretation of Marsy’s Law.
