from Rising Fawn to Dade High
School and was making another
regular run down past Adkins’
Store on U. S. 11 when the ac¬
cident occurred. He had stop¬
ped the bus to pick up some
children when the '56 auto from
out of the state made the
routine stop. A second car, com-
up from behind, failed to stop
in time, striking the first car.
The force of the impact knocked
this car into the left front fend¬
er of the bus. The bus received
a big dent, with the automobile
getting some front end damage.
No injuries were reported.
