UPDATED: Friday Morning School Bus Accident Off Reynolda Road

By Staff

Friday morning, just after 7am, WSFCS bus #86 was involved in an accident on Valley Road, between Reynolda Road and Yadkinville Road. On scene it appeared that a red Toyota had struck the school bus.  The car’s driver was taken to the hospital for what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. While unconfirmed at this time, there did appear to be at least one student or other passenger on the bus in addition to the driver. EMS personnel and police officers could be seen talking to someone on the bus. The individual did not appear to have significant injuries and no additional ambulance had been dispatched to the scene as of this writing.

UPDATE:

According to the WSPD, the bus, driven by Kimberly Dawn Westmoreland, was traveling east on Valley Road toward Reynolda Road. A 1994 Toyota Corolla, driven by Linda Bristow Duncan, was traveling in the opposite direction when it drifted over the centerline and sideswiped the school bus.

There were four passengers in addition to the driver on the bus at the time of the accident. No one on the bus was injured. Ms. Duncan was transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for the treatment of minor injuries.

Neither speed or impairment appears to be a factor in this collision.
