(AP) — A Baton Rouge police spokesman says nine children were treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the school bus they were in crashed Tuesday at an intersection.
The Advocate reports the crash happened at 8 a.m. when the bus driver, 60-year-old Bridget Gage, tried to turn left onto Flannery Road from a westbound lane of Florida Boulevard. Cpl. L’Jean McKneely says a pickup traveling east on Florida hit the bus, which had 36 children aboard at the time of the accident.
Gage was issued a ticket for failure to yield left turn.
