On Tuesday, at 3:52pm, Kentucky State Police Post 10 Harlan received a call about a bus collision on KY 1344 in the Hance’s Creek Community of Bell County. Trooper George Howard responded to the scene. Preliminary investigation determined a 2006 International school bus was traveling on the roadway when the rear tire dropped off the road, causing the bus to go into a ditch. The number of students onboard at the time was unclear, but 11 were taken to the Pineville Community Hospital as a precaution to be treated for minor injuries. All parents were notified and the kids were picked up at the hospital. Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the collision, which remains under investigation by Trooper Howard.
