2 students, adult injured in school bus accident

GOTHENBURG, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say two students were injured in a south-central Nebraska school bus accident.

The accident occurred around 7:45 a.m. Friday, about 8 miles (13 kilometers) east of Gothenburg. The Dawson County Sheriff’s Office says the bus ran into a ditch on a rural road, striking a culvert and passing over a driveway before coming to rest after striking another culvert.

The Gothenburg school district told parents that all nine students and the driver were taken to a Gothenburg hospital to be examined. Two students and an adult were treated.

The district says the bus slid on loose gravel before entering the ditch.
