LEVAN — Six students and a bus driver were injured in a bus crash near Levan Wednesday, a school official said.
Juab School District Superintendent Rick Robins confirmed the injuries via Twitter. One student had a broken arm and the bus driver was transported to a Nephi hospital, Robins said.
Juab School District bus 990 and a truck was involved in the crash, Robins said.
At 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, a GMC Yukon hauling a camper trailer was traveling northbound on state Route 28 when the trailer started to sway, pulling the vehicle out of its travel lane, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
The bus was traveling south at the same location. The side of the camp trailer struck the front of the school bus, damaging both vehicles, UHP said.
The driver of the bus and one student were transported to the Central Valley Medical Center in Nephi by ambulance. Two other students were transported to the hospital by personal vehicles, according to UHP.
The students were treated with minor injuries. The bus driver had serious injuries to his head and face and was later airlifted from the hospital in Nephi to Utah Valley Hospital. There were no injuries to the people in the Yukon, UHP said.
Another bus was brought to the scene and students on the bus who were not injured were being transported to their normal bus stops or their residences.
SR 28 between Nephi and Levan was closed due to the crash. Juab County officials were asking drivers to use an alternate route.
