MORELAND, GA : Child, car driver hurt in crash involving school bus on Friday, January 20th 2017
Authorities say a child and driver are injured after a school bus carrying about two dozen students crashed with a car southwest of Atlanta in Coweta County.
A statement from the Georgia State Patrol says the accident occurred Friday morning. Troopers say the bus failed to yield the right of way and crossed into the path of a Ford Thunderbird.
A student and the driver of the Ford were taken to a hospital in Newnan with non-life threatening injuries.
