According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the truck was traveling on Kentucky highway 52 when the bus pulled out in front of it.

Any time students are involved in a motor vehicle collision in a school bus there is cause for concern. Many issues arise outside of the normal questions that need to be asked in a normal car accident. Was the school bus driver properly trained? Was the school bus in proper working order? Is there any fault on the part of the school bus driver for causing the collision or becoming distracted? Are there any potential product defects with the school bus? Who will pay for the injured passenger’s medical bills?
These are but a few of the questions which need to be answered and considered in cases such as this incident in Lee County – and this is why anyone injured in such a collision needs an experienced attorney on their side.
