COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A staff member suffered minor injuries when a Montgomery County school bus was hit by a car Wednesday morning.

The Montgomery County R-2 bus was hit at about 7:30 a.m. on Highway 19 near Route WW just north of New Florence, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report. A Hyundai Elantra driven by a 35-year-old Wellsville woman hit the bus after crossing the center line, the patrol reported.

The Hyundai driver was taken by ambulance to Lake St. Louis Hospital with moderate injuries. The injured school employee, 63, of High Hill, was taken to the Hermann Area District Hospital with minor injuries.

The one student on the bus was not hurt, said Superintendent Brian White.

Both vehicles were towed from the crash site.
