A school bus containing the Orleans Middle School 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams was involved in an accident on the way to East Washington Middle School on Monday, Nov. 25. The accident happened in front of John Jones Auto Group at 1450 IN Hwy. 60 at approximately 5 p.m.
The accident report indicates that a car pulled out of John Jones to make a left turn, forcing a 2010 Edge driven by Tiffany Odum to come to a sudden stop on the highway. The first car sped away. Behind Odum was the middle school bus that tried to avoid the collision and ran off the side of the road. The school bus was driven by Katherine Dilla of Orleans.
Since children were involved, the Washington County Ambulance Service was on the scene, along with the Salem Fire Department. The Washington County Sheriff’s Department made the accident report.
There were no injuries, but traffic was blocked for a while and so was the entrance to John Jones Auto Group.
Information for this story was supplied by Officer Brad Naugle.
