NIGHT'S SLEEP!]
ANNOUNCER: YOU ARE WATCHING KCRA
3 -- WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING
NEWS.
LISA THAT BREAKING NEWS WE ARE
FOLLOWING RIGHT NOW, OUT OF YUBA
COUNTY, WHERE A SCHOOL BUS HAS
CRASHED.
THIS HAPPENED NEAR RICES TEXAS
HILL AND TEXAS HILL ROADS JUST
SOUTH OF MARYSVILLE ROAD IN
OREGON HOUSE
THIS WAS JUST BEFORE 9:30 THIS
MORNING.
THIS BUS WAS TRAVELING FROM YES
ACADEMY.
THERE WERE 14 PEOPLE ON BOARD AT
THE TIME OF THE CRASH, INCLUDING
CHILDREN.
FIVE STUDENTS WERE TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL JUST FOR OBSERVATION.
THE OTHER STUDENTS WENT ON TO
SCHOOL.
THE OTHER NINE STUDENTS WERE
TAKEN TO THE SCHOOL JUST DOWN
THE ROAD.
CREWS ARE WORKING TO REMOVE THE
BUS FROM THE AREA.
AGAIN, THERE WER 14 STUDENTS ON
BOARD AT TIME.
LET'S GO TO DAVE ALLEN OVER THE
SAME.
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE THE PAST 30
MINUTES OR SO.
WHAT DID YOU SEE WHEN YOU GOT
THERE, AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK
LIKE NOW?
DAVE: WE GOT THERE ABOUT THE
TIME OF THAT TOW TRUCK THAT IS
PULLING THE BUS OFF.
IT IS HEADING DOWN THE ROAD TO
WHERE THE SCHOOL IS.
AS YOU FOLLOW THAT ROAD TO THE
LOWER RIGHT OF YOU SCREEN, WE
ARE GOING TO COME TO THE SCHOOL.
AT THE BOTTO IT'S THE SCHOOL
WHERE THIS IS FROM.
THE BUS WAS GOING IN A
NORTHBOUND DIRECTION TOWARD THE
SCHOOL WAY AND IT SOMEHOW WENT
OFF THE ROAD WHERE YOU JUST SAW
THE BUS PULLING OUT.
I AM GOING TO FOLLOW UP THE ROAD
TO WHERE THE BUS IS BEING
PULLED.
SAM, LET'S GO TO THE CRASH SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A WINDING
ROAD.
IT WILL WIND TO THE RIGHT AND
LOWER RIGHT OF OUR SCREEN.
THIS IS THE ROAD IT CAME DOWN.
SAM, THAT IS THE OTHER ROAD.
LET'S KILLED DOWN AND COME BACK
TO THE OTHER -- TO THE RIGHT
SIDE.
YOU CAN SEE, ACTUALLY, IT IS A
LITTLE CONFUSING BACK HERE WHERE
THE ROADS ARE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF TWISTING,
TURNING ROADS, AND A HILLSIDE
THEY HAVE TO FOLLO DOWN.I AM
REORIENTED HERE.
IF YOU WILL ZOOM IN, SAM -- I'M
SORRY, YOU HAVE THIS RIGHT THE
FIRST TIME.
YOU SEE OUR LIVE TRUCK.
THE CURVE GOES BACK THE OTHER
WAY.
ALMOST A 90-DEGREE CURVE THE BUS
WAS ON WHEN IT CAME DOWN THE
ROAD.
LISA: WE SHOULD POINT OUT, DAVE,
THE BUS WAS ACTUALLY TAKING AN
ALTERNATE ROU.
THAT SHARP TURN IS NOT ONE IT
WOULD NORMALLY TAKE WITH THE
CHILDREN ON BOARD, BUT IT WAS
TAKING AN ALTERNATE ROUTE
BECAUSE OF A DOWNED TREE AND
DOWNED POWER LINE.
SO, IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IN
NORMALLY DID, SO WE COULD SEE IN
THOSE LIVE PICTURES YOU WERE
SHOWING US, WHAT A TIGHT TURN
THAT IS.
DAVE: VERY TURN.
IT IS A MUST A HAIRPIN TURN.
CAN WE GO TO THE SITE -- YOU CAN
SEE THE DIRT WHEN THE PULLED
THE BUS OUT.
THE NUMBER, WE ARE ALMOST
STRAIGHT OVER THIS.
IT DOES NOT LOOK AS STEEP AS
WHERE THE TERRAIN IS.
THAT IS A VERY STEEP, HAIRPIN
TURN THEY HAD TO TAKE.
THE DRIVER IS NOT GOING TO BE
FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA BECAUSE
IT IS AN ALTERNATE ROUTE TO GET
AROUND THE DOWNED TREE.
THAT HELD UP THE NEWS CREW
GETTING TO THE SCENE.
AS THIS CHP CAR COMES AROUND THE
TURN, YOU CAN SEE HOW TIGHT THAT
CURVE REALLY IS DOWN THERE.
IT IS A MUST LIKE TURNING INTO A
DRIVEWAY.
A VERY BIG HAIRPIN TURN AS IT
GOES DOWN THIS VERY STEEP HILL
RIGHT HERE.
LISA DAVE ALLEN, WE APPRECIATE
LIFE PICTURES.
WE HAVE KCRA 3'S VICKI GONZALES,
ON THE SCENE, GETTING THE LATEST
