A semi truck overturned on a Mississippi Highway after swerving to avoid a school bus on Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred on Mississippi Highway 28 in Copiah County, around 7:05 a.m.
According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the truck came over a hilltop and approached a school bus that was stopped to pick up students. Unable to stop in time, it swerved to avoid hitting the bus and overturned
The driver of the truck, Samuel Johnson, told reporters, “Left lane was closed, right land was closed. I didn’t want to hit the back of the bus. I valued the kids’ lives more than me, so I hit the shoulder of the road, came down beside the bus, laid the truck over.”
No one was injured in the crash.
