A crash between a mini-van and school bus sent 8 people to the hospital Friday morning.
According to the Grayson Sheriff’s Department, the crash occurred just after 7 a.m. CDT when a mini-van, driven by 28 year-old Tarynn L. Dean of Caneyville, struck the rear of a Grayson County School bus, driven by 52 year-old James E. Coffey of Falls of Rough. Both vehicles were headed east on East Maple Street.
Dean stated she did not see the bus stopped due to the sun obstructing her view.
Two adults and two juveniles in the mini-van were treated at the scene and transported to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center.
One of the adults in the van was later flown to University of Louisville Hospital with facial injuries. A juvenile passenger was also flown to Kosairs Children’s Hospital with multiple non-life threatening injuries.
The bus driver and 3 students on the bus were transported to Twin Lakes ER with minor non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the van was cited for Expired Temporary Tag and 2 counts of Failure to Use Child Restraint Device.
The Grayson County EMS and the Caneyville Fire Department assisted the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office at the scene.
