A pickup truck rear-ended a stopped school bus in Union County, Thursday afternoon, but no injuries were reported. According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the accident happened at around 3:50-p.m. at 1626 Highway 25. A westbound school bus driven by 23-year old Cody Dean Hagle, of Orient, was stopped to unload students when it was rear-ended by a 1996 Chevrolet K1500 pickup, driven by 75-year old William Arthur Raasch, of Greenfield. There were five occupants in the bus at the time of the crash.

Authorities say Raasch was following too closely, and his brakes failed, which caused the pickup to collide with the rear of the school bus. The bus sustained $500 damage. Damage to the pickup was estimated at $3,000.
