The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) is investigating a two-vehicle crash involving a Lake Local School District bus carrying 48 students and an SUV on Market Avenue in Lake Township, Stark County.

The incident occurred at approximately 3:44 p.m. on Wednesday as the school bus, driven by a 44-year-old Uniontown resident, stopped in the southbound lane to unload students. While students were disembarking, a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by a 36-year-old Massillon resident, failed to stop in time and struck the rear of the stationary bus.

Three students sustained minor injuries but did not require medical transport. The remaining 45 students, as well as the drivers of both vehicles, were unharmed.

OSHP issued a statement emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety protocols, particularly when approaching stationary school buses with activated lights. “This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of driver attentiveness and caution, particularly in residential areas and locations where school buses frequently operate,” they said.

An investigation is ongoing to determine if distracted driving or other factors contributed to the crash.
