Up-Date: NEWS 2 reporting that a school bus rolled over at the intersection of Groometown Road and Brandy Road this morning.
There were six children from Southern Elementary on the bus when it happened.
Troopers say the driver and some of the children were injured. The children have only minor injuries. The bus driver was ejected and suffered critical injuries.
Guilford County school employees called the parents and asked them to meet their children at Moses Cone Hospital. Troopers say the wreck happened after the bus driver ran off the side of the road and overcorrected. http://www.digtriad.com/news/top/article.aspx?storyid=94422&catid=14
