Icy roads were the culprit in a three-vehicle crash that involved a Bemidji school bus shortly after 730 this morning. 47 students were aboard when the bus hit an icy patch on a hill on Pershing Avenue and began to slide towards Burr Street where it hit a passing pickup truck and then caught guide wires of a utility pole before then slamming into the pole. There were no reports of any injuries. The Bemidji school district says that with the weather conditions as they were, there was nothing that the school district would have done differently. There weren't anything that we would delayed school for for a couple hours. It wasn't going to change the fact that the roads are already covered with ice. All of the agencies were out putting sand at different places. This is probably one of those side little pieces that just hadn't got done yet. In two days that ice won't even be there. But that's the path that the bus takes to get down the hill. It was just too slippery this morning for us and we're not being sited with anything. It was just an accident that just occurred. Students on the bus were transferred over to another bus and taken to school where each student was then checked over again by the school nurse.
