CLINTON COUNTY, Ohio — Several students from East Clinton Local School District were taken to the hospital with minor injuries after a crash involving a school bus, Superintendent Eric Magee said.
Ohio State Highway Patrol said troopers responded to a crash involving a school bus in Wilson Township just after 3 p.m. Monday. Officials said the bus had been traveling southbound before it went off the right side of the road and hit two culverts, a mailbox and a ditch.
A previous version of this story said Clinton County dispatchers reported that the crash occurred on I-71. OSHP said the crash happened in the area of State Route 72 near Stone Road.
Magee told WCPO both the district and OSHP were investigating the crash.
"These situations are stressful for everyone involved, especially the students," Magee said. "We are thankful that the accident was not more serious than it was."
Magee said students on board were all being checked for "what appear to be minor injuries." OSHP said of the 37 students on the bus, 14 were taken to the hospital by either EMS or their parents.
The driver of the bus, 40-year-old Tonya A. Kimball, was charged with operating a motor vehicle without reasonable control.
