One school bus driver was killed and another was
injured Tuesday afternoon when wind swept up a dust cloud that
obscured a driver`s vision.
The driver braked suddenly, causing a seven-vehicle pileup
involving three buses that were on their way to Trumann`s Central
Elementary School.
The school superintendent says no students were on the buses at
the time.
Officials said the accident occurred on Arkansas 69 west of
Trumann when the lead school bus driver, Jan Ham, lost sight of the
road because of the dust cloud and stopped the bus.
Ham, who also is the girl`s basketball coach, was injured and
taken to a hospital. The name of the deceased driver was not
immediately released.
