 Several people remain hospitalized after a loaded school bus plunged over a Macawthon County hillside Monday morning. Bus 2030 was taking students on its morning route along Route 40 when something caused it to veer across the road and over the hill. The bus landed on its side, pointing in the opposite direction from which it came. The bus was carrying 18 students and the driver, and Macawthon County Superintendent Chris Meadows said everyone on the bus received at least minor injuries. Four people were said to be in critical condition and the driver and two students were airlifted from the scene. Five students were taken away by parents and the rest were taken by ambulance to area medical facilities to be checked out. Students on the bus ranged from elementary school to high school. The bus serves Salyersville Grade School, North Macawthon Elementary, Harold Whittaker Middle School, and Macawthon County High School. Kentucky State Police is continuing to investigate the crash.
