Law enforcement, school officials: Follow bus-stop crossing law
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Representatives for schools and law enforcement stressed the importance of drivers watching for stopped buses after a Columbia Public Schools student was injured Wednesday when he was hit by a car on the way to a school bus.
The 10-year-old New Haven Elementary School student suffered only minor injuries, according to the Boone County Sheriff s Office. Deputies arrested a woman on suspicion of ignoring the stopped sign on the school bus.
The Columbia Police Department reminds drivers that all buses used to take children to public schools in Columbia are painted bright yellow. Yellow lights will flash when the school bus slows down to pick up or drop off students. Red lights will flash and a stop sign will appear once the bus comes to a full stop.
