DES MOINES, Iowa (WHO) — Police say a bus driver’s medical issue likely caused a school bus to go off the road in Des Moines on Monday morning.
Sgt. Paul Parizek says a Des Moines Public Schools bus was headed eastbound on Euclid Avenue near Delaware Avenue a little after 8 a.m. when the driver lost consciousness and the bus left the roadway, our Des Moines affiliate WHO-TV 13 reported.
There were 50 kids on the bus at the time of the accident and while they were shaken up, no one was injured.
The driver was doing well at the scene but was transported to the hospital for testing to determine what caused him to pass out.
The bus had minor damage and the children were taken to school after a second bus was sent to the scene.
