CHELSEA, Okla. — One person is dead after a crash with a school bus near Foyil, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
Troopers said the wreck happened on Highway 28A near 4230 Road. The driver of the car, Isaac Vanover of Jay, that wrecked with the bus was reportedly pronounced dead on scene.
The Claremore-Sequoyah school bus was traveling with junior high girls basketball players when it wrecked with a car and went partially off the road, but nobody on board suffered injuries.
"That was the first thing we did. We got the children off the bus," OHP Lt. Colby Rohr said on scene Jan. 8.
"It's a two-lane highway in a valley. I don't have any information as far as speeds or the number of accidents we work in (this) area."
Rogers County Sheriff's Office, Chelsea Police Department, and local fire crews also responded to the crash.
OHP said most details from the incident are still under investigation and would expect details to be released the morning of Jan. 9.
