Officers responded just before 8 a.m. to the intersection of Salem Street and Sunset Circle. A man told police his child was about to board the bus when the truck raced past the bus on the sidewalk, forcing him to pull her out of harm s way.
There were also two children aboard the bus at the time of the crash, police said, but no one was injured. They were later taken by another bus to the Dr. Elmer S. Bagnall Elementary School.
The department is seeking a criminal summons against the man, Gillen said, and he will be charged with leaving the scene of an accident/property damage, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, operating after suspension, marked lanes violation, and fail to stop for a school bus.
