Yesterday, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle collision involving an Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation School Bus
and a pickup truck at the intersection of North Saint Joseph Avenue and Allens Lane.
It was reported that the EVSC school bus was attempting to turn east onto Allens Lane
when it collided with a 2010 Ford F-150 traveling northbound on Saint Joseph Avenue.

There were only three students aboard the school bus at the time of the accident and each complained of minor pain at the scene. The children did not require any further medical treament and were released to their respective guardians to be taken to school. According to the investigating deputies no injuries were reported by the drivers. The intersection had a lane restriction for a short time so the vehicles could be removed by wrecker services.

The above image depicts the scene as deputies investigated the collision.
