Search for Driver Involved in Minor School Bus Accident Continues

The search continues for the driver of a blue Saturn Ion involved in a minor Peters Township school bus accident that occurred Jan. 27 at 8:45 a.m. at the intersection of Crest Drive and Pleasant Ave.

Thirty-four students were en route to McMurray Elementary, when the bus driver made a sharp left onto Crest Drive from Pleasant Ave., hitting the blue Saturn Ion sitting at the corner of Crest Drive, according to Peters police. The drivers spoke, but did not exchange information. Police understand that the owner of the blue Saturn Ion was a passenger in the vehicle, but not the driver. 

One student was taken to St. Clair Hospital later in the day, after complaining of whiplash, according to police. Four students complained of pain. 

Peters police are required to report the accident, containing injuries, to the state. However, they cannot do so without the driver's name. 

"We would love and be very thankful if the driver would come forward," said Peters police captain, Captain Yanchak. "They should call 724-942-5030 or 911 after hours."
