OLIVETTE, Mo. — A school bus driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution after a school bus crash in Olivette Thursday afternoon.
The crash involved a Ladue School District bus and happened at around 3:40 p.m. Thursday near the intersection of Olive Boulevard and Dielman Road. A spokeswoman with the Ladue School District said one student was on the bus, but the student was not injured and was later picked up by a parent.
The city of Olivette released a statement regarding the incident stating three occupants of a passenger vehicle involved were transported to a local hospital. Two of the passengers sustained minor injuries and one sustained more serious injuries.
There is no update on the condition of any involved.
Video from the scene showed the school bus crashed into a light pole that then fell onto Olive Boulevard.
According to the district spokeswoman, the other school buses are running behind schedule because the bus is out of commission and because of heavy traffic due to the crash.
MoDOT said temporary stop signs will be used until the traffic light can be replaced.
The city of Olivette also stated in their post that they anticipate the intersection's light signal to be inoperable into the coming weekend.
