SOLOMON, Kan — A school bus driver involved in an accident in Ottawa County is no longer driving for Solomon schools.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that on Oct. 1, a school bus driven by Helen J. Stephens, 74, was westbound on Solomon Road seven miles north of Solomon at Kansas 18 and pulled out in front of a Freightliner semi-dump truck pulling two trailers loaded with rock. The semi made an evasive maneuver but clipped the bus and overturned.

The KHP reported Stephens was issued a citation for failure to yield. The district said she is no longer driving students.

Eight students were on the bus. As a precaution, a 13-year-old Solomon girl was transported to Salina Regional Medial Center. The school district said she was in school the following day.
