School Bus Driver From Jay Involved In Minor Wreck
September 2, 2009
A school bus driver from Jay was involved in a minor traffic crash in Pace Tuesday afternoon
The Florida Highway Patrol says bus driver Angela D. Pennell, 48, of Jay, was stopped at a red light. The FHP says Faye Franks, 61, of Pace, pulled to a stop behind the bus. That’s when Franks reached to pick up something that fell to the floor in her Kia van and rolled forward into rear of the bus.
Pennell and Franks were not injured. A nine-year old Pace girl was transported to Santa Rosa Hospital with minor injuries.
There was no damage to the bus in the minor crash, according to troopers.

Your headline made it sound like the bus driver could have been at fault. Shame on you.
This report doesn’t add up: “There was no damage to the bus in the minor crash, according to troopers.” However, a Pace girl was taken to the hospital with injuries. Huh? The Kia van “rolled” forward sounds more like it ran into the rear end of the bus with some actual speed if someone had to be transported to the hospital.
