The Dothan Police Department Traffic Division responded to a day care bus crash in the 2300 block of Denton Road at 2:46 p.m. today. Traffic officers are on the scene of that crash investigating at this time. A preliminary investigation has revealed the bus had eight children on board at the time of the crash.
No injuries were sustained by any of the children on board. The traffic investigator stated the driver of the bus came to a stop in the 2300 block of Denton Road and exited the vehicle in front of a day care.
When the driver exited the vehicle, it began rolling backwards at which point the driver attempted to re-enter the bus. The driver was run over by the moving vehicle and sustained moderate injuries.
The vehicle continued to travel in reverse crossing Denton Road and Briarwood Drive. The vehicle came to a stop after colliding into a residence. Again, we are confirming only the driver was injured, no children were injured in the collision.
The Dothan Police Department has made contact with five of the guardians and is attempting to make contact with the other three at this time. All children involved have been returned to the day care on Denton Road, parents needing further information may call their care facility.
