Casey Co. School Bus overturns with 14 passengers 2011-03-09 - KY 551, Clementsville, KY - Photo by Richard Miles. Students go home from accident with parents. "A Casey County School District Bus with 14 passengers, overturned about one mile north of Clementsville, KY, on Ky 551 at about 3:30pmET/2:30pmCT, today, Wednesday, March 9, 2011," writes Richard Miles of the Holmes Bend area of Adair Co., KY. Miles said that everybody seemed to be okay when he got there. A spokesperson in the Casey County Dispatcher's office said that an official report had not been written yet, but it was his understanding that the children were taken home by their parents. The accident occurred on an extremely narrow part of the road. From the appearance of the tracks, the bus was moving very slowly. Miles, who drives the road to work daily, said that it is often difficult for for two vehicles to pass each other along this stretch, which, besides being narrow, has virtually no shoulder. The school bus was traveling south, and may have met another vehicle headed north. The name of the driver was not known at the time of posting. The site of the accident is approximately 6 miles north of the North Adair County community of Casey Creek. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
