Students Injured After School Bus Crashes Into Ditch In Metro Detroit: Police

HURON TOWNSHIP, MI — Multiple students suffered minor injuries after a school bus crashed into a ditch Thursday morning in Wayne County, according to police.

The crash happened at 8:36 a.m. Thursday in the area of Clark and Judd roads in Huron Township, according to police.

The driver of the Huron Schools bus was trying to dodge large potholes when the road gave out and forced the driver to go into the ditch, according to police.

Investigators said the school bus driver was moving at an appropriate speed when the crash happened.

Three students suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene before they were released to their parents, according to police.

Other students were either transferred to another bus and taken to school or released to their parents at the scene, according to police.

No other injuries were reported.

Huron Township Director of Public Safety Everette Robbins said the school bus driver was not texting before the crash.

Investigators do not suspect speed or alcohol played a role in the crash, Robbins said.

"This appears to simply be a case of the road being soft and the driver took the appropriate actions to do what could be done to avoid something worse," Robbins said. "We are thankful that all our kids are safe."
