Duck smashes school bus windshield

A duck smashed through the windshield of a Cumberland County school bus Tuesday morning as it was on its way to deliver students to Elizabeth Cashwell Elementary School. It happened about 7:30 a.m. on Wilmington Highway just past Arnette Park. The bird knocked a hole through the reinforced glass and hit the bus driver in the chest. Amazingly, the duck survived and was taken away by a N.C. Wildlife Resources officer.
