At 7:38 a.m., Tuesday (Aug. 25), Virginia State Police Trooper M.C. Brill responded to a single-vehicle crash involving a school bus. The crash occurred in the 2400 block of Hankey Mountain Highway/Route 250 in the Churchville community.
The Augusta County school bus was traveling east on Route 250 when it encountered a highway work zone that had traffic down to one lane. The bus struck the guardrail off the left side causing the driver to overcorrect. The bus then ran off the right side of the road and struck a tree.
The driver, Daniel W. Dull, 65, of West Augusta, Va., is being treated at UVA Hospital in Charlottesville for serious injuries.
There were 35 elementary, middle and high school students on the bus at the time of the crash. A total of 21 were treated for injuries.
Charges are pending at this time. The crash remains under investigation.
