GREENWOOD, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a staff member and six
students have been taken to a Lincoln hospital after their school
bus collided with a semitrailer on Interstate 80 a few miles east
of Lincoln.
The Nebraska State Patrol says the accident occurred near the
Greenwood interchange a little after 9:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The 28 students and four staffers were on a field trip to Omaha
when the collision forced the bus into the median. It ended up
straddling a concrete construction barrier but did not roll over.
District spokeswoman Tori Stofferson says six
students were taken to the hospital with what appeared to be minor
injuries.
The patrol says the staffer was taken to the hospital in serious
condition. Neither driver was injured.
Other students were treated at the scene.
