Students Injured in School Bus Wreck

KILGORE — Four children were injured Tuesday afternoon after a car struck a Kilgore school bus. The Kilgore Independent School District bus was traveling southbound on U.S. 259 when it turned onto Woodlawn Street and was struck by a car, according to Kilgore Police Department Sgt. Will Dietrich. Four students in the bus and the driver of the car were transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Dietrich said it appears the driver of the school bus made an unprotected left turn at the intersection and that the car struck the bus near its rear end. He said there were about 25 children on the bus.
