An accident involving a Columbus Municipal School District bus and another vehicle is under investigation.
At about 7:20 a.m. Monday, a collision occurred between the bus and the other vehicle at the intersection of Winterset Drive and North Gaywood Avenue, a CMSD press release said.
Police Chief Garland Ward told The Dispatch it appeared as though the side of the vehicle collided with the front driver’s side of the bus, which was left damaged.
None of the 34 children, the bus monitor or the bus driver were injured in the accident, though one student was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle for an evaluation, the press release said.
Ward said the other driver involved in the incident was uninjured.
CPD is investigating the incident to determine the cause of the crash, Ward said.
