Investigation Summary

At 11:30 a.m. on March 11, 2024, an employee was driving a 2020 Fort Micro Bird 25-passenger school bus eastbound on a highway. She was about half-way through navigating a right-hand curve when the truck crossed over the broken yellow center lane line into the westbound lane and collided head-on with a loaded 39-foot semi-truck and trailer. Both vehicles left the roadway in a northerly direction and caught fire. The collision occurred while the school bus was about halfway through navigating a right-hand curve. Both vehicles veered off the roadway in a northerly direction and caught fire. The employee sustained multiple unspecified blunt force injuries and thermal injuries, resulting from the fire. She was killed.
