12 Students Hospitalized After Idaho School Bus Rolls Over

At least a dozen students were hospitalized after their school bus rolled over on a rural Idaho highway, police said. Lincoln County Sheriff Rene Rodriguez said junior high students from Carey School were on their way to a track meet in Gooding when their bus crashed about 125 miles (201 kilometers) southeast of Boise on U.S. Highway 26. The driver, 67-year-old Richard Mecham, drove off the right shoulder, overcorrected and rolled the 2011 school bus Tuesday, according to Idaho State Police. A parent of one of the 39 students on the bus said her daughter remembered a hectic scene, with coaches yelling to get the driver’s attention before the vehicle flipped over.
