There were no serious injuries when a Whitefish School District bus slid off an icy road and overturned on its side in northwest Montana.
The school district reported that the accident happened Wednesday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. Children on the bus exited out a back door and were later reunited with their families.
The school district says one student was taken to the North Valley Hospital as a precaution.
“Our district’s quick response team assembled within minutes and developed a communications plan, as well as a follow-up plan for counseling support,” said superintendent Heather Davis Schmidt. “Our team confirmed bus rosters with Rocky Mountain Transportation as quickly as possible to ensure that all students were accounted for and reunited with their families.”
