Hello everyone,
At the end of the school day today, on the bus route home, one of our buses was involved in an accident. The bus was on a gravel road and the edge of the road was soft. The bus tires got too close to the edge of the road causing the bus to go into the ditch. The slope of the ditch caused the bus to tip onto its side. There were 25 students on the bus and one driver. After each student was checked by the first responders they were released to their parents.
Thank you to the first responders from Monticello and surrounding communities. Thank you to the State Police, Jones County Sheriff’s Department, and the Monticello Police Department for their quick response to this situation.
