LIBERTY TWP. — A school bus with one student aboard was struck by a car, sending both drivers to area hospitals.

The crash occurred just before noon Thursday, Nov. 19, near the intersection of Cincinnati-Dayton and Hamilton-Mason roads, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.

The student riding on the bus at the time of the accident was not injured, and was taken back to Liberty Junior High School, said Lakota Local Schools spokeswoman Laura Kursman.

The driver of the other vehicle involved, a gray Ford Focus, was not identified by deputies and the driver’s condition was not known.

The bus driver, Patricia Cain of Maineville, was taken to an area hospital at a precaution, and was back at her home later in the afternoon, Kursman said.

No citations have been issued, and the accident remains under investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
