buzzed right into the face of a
school bus driver at Riverview on
Monday afternoon, causing a
wreck that might have been very
serious except for the topography
of the roadside which prevented
the bus from turning completely
over.
The accident occurred not far
from the school house and all of
the children in the bus were rush
ed to the Ashe county hospital for
examination and necessary treat
ment. Only one was kept, Mary
Ruth Osborne, of Fig, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Osborne. She
suffered some minor bone frac-
lures. Other students received
minor cuts and bruises and were
dismissed following first aid treat
ment. Around twenty were
brought into the hospital for ex-
animation.
School authorities said that Ned
Oliver, driver of the bus, drove
last year and had a record of care
full driving. The bus was travel
ling at a slow rate of speed, ac-
cording to reports, when it left
