The Sedona-Oak Creek School District school bus on the Yellow Elementary and Village of Oak Creek route was involved in a two-vehicle collision with a delivery truck at the intersection of Van Deren Road and Mesquite Avenue at 3:37 p.m. Thursday, April 9.
“The bus was sideswiped … and all students are safe as the scene of the collision is assessed,” SOCSD wrote in an email to parents shortly after the incident.
A student was treated by the Sedona Fire District for superficial minor injuries from a broken passenger-side window.
Van Deren Road between Mesquite and Apple Avenues was closed during the response.
Students were transferred to a second SOCSD bus at 4 p.m. and returned to West Sedona School, where Principal Alisa Steig coordinated parent pick-up.
