 The Midgee Area Schools Bus 25 was traveling southbound on Urban Avenue when an eastbound driver on South Mobile Lake Road drove through a stop sign striking the bus on its right side causing the bus to lose control, swerving onto the west side of Urban Avenue and rolling onto its side in the ditch, injuring many of the bus's occupants. None of the injuries are critical. There are some that are considered to be serious injuries and then the rest of them were more minor injuries where they're able to treat the children and release them to their parents. Rescue crews quickly extracted the students from the bus and those who appeared not to be injured were transferred to another bus. Two children were pinned inside the bus, but one had to be extricated by the Bemidji Fire Department. Five students were transferred by ambulance and one was airlifted to the emergency room at Samford Hospital in Bemidji. The Bemidji School District says the students on the bus were traveling to different schools. We have students from the Red Lake area as far as attending Northern Elementary School. There were students that attend Paul Bunyan Kindergarten Center, students that attended Central Elementary. Residents tell us that traffic along this stretch of roadway has always been a problem with people traveling at high speeds. The bus driver and looker say that it was only a matter of time before a serious accident like this would happen. We avoid this intersection during high traffic because the cars hurtle up over that hill at 70 miles an hour and more. And if you were caught in this intersection, there's not time to react. The driver of the vehicle who struck the bus was rushed by ambulance to Samford Hospital and is currently listed in serious condition. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
