SAC COUNTY, Iowa (AP) — A crash involving a school bus sent two students and several other people to the hospital. KCCI-TV reports Debra Dettman was driving an East Sac County school bus with four children on board Thursday afternoon when they were struck by a truck. The crash, which happened at the intersection of Highway 20 and Rolf Avenue at 4:17 p.m., sent both vehicles into a ditch.

Dettman was taken to a Sac City hospital. The driver of the truck, 40-year-old August Bach, and his passenger, 38-year-old Jennifer Elliott, also were taken to the Sac City hospital. Their conditions weren’t available.

The parents of two of the children took them to a hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries. Dettman was charged with failure to yield.
