8 Injured After Pickup Hits School Bus in Del Paso Heights, CHP Says

CHP says a juvenile driver ran a stop sign before striking a bus carrying special-needs students.

Overview

  • The crash occurred around 2:50 p.m. in the 3900 block of Belden Street, where a Toyota Tacoma and a school bus collided at a stop-controlled intersection.
  • Officials said eight people were transported with minor injuries, and CHP reported seven of them were juveniles from the pickup.
  • Five special-needs students were on the bus, and only one student and the driver were taken to the hospital as a precaution after on-scene evaluations by a Sacramento Fire Department doctor.
  • Home surveillance video showed the bus making contact with the truck, and witnesses reported the impact spun the bus and sent the Tacoma through a fence, damaging backyard sheds.
  • The California Highway Patrol is leading the investigation, Twin Rivers Unified dispatched a replacement bus, and the roadway has reopened.
