PORT ANGELES — A collision involving a school bus for physically disabled students and a minivan left one adult injured Wednesday morning in east Port Angeles.
Port Angeles resident Elizabeth A. Lowery, 24, the driver of the minivan, was taken by ambulance to Olympic Medical Center.
She was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday afternoon.
One student was aboard the bus and was not injured, said Tina Smith-O’Hara, spokeswoman for the Port Angeles School District.
The students’ parents were immediately notified of the incident, she said.
Two adults also were onboard the 2003 Bluebird school bus: the driver, Christine L. Malone, 65, and Nicholas C. Segner, 31. They were not injured, according to the State Patrol report.
According to the report, Lowery was driving a blue 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan westbound on Kemp Street at 9:43 a.m.
The school bus was traveling northbound on Mount Pleasant Road.
Lowery failed to yield to a stop sign at Mount Pleasant and struck the bus.
The bus was damaged and was driven to the school district’s bus yard.
The minivan was also damaged and was driven from the scene.
Neither drugs nor alcohol were thought to have contributed to the collision, according to the State Patrol report.
Lowery was cited for failure to yield, the report said.
