ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) — A school bus and a pickup truck collided at an intersection in northeastern North Carolina, but no serious injuries were immediately reported.
Multiple media outlets reported that the accident occurred in Elizabeth City around 3:39 p.m. Tuesday. The bus contained approximately 40 students from Elizabeth City Middle School and Pasquotank High School.
Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Medical Services Director Jerry Newell said 11 students and the bus driver were initially transported to Albemarle Hospital. A 15-year-old student was airlifted to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Virginia for possible head injuries.
The state Highway Patrol said the driver of the truck was a woman who had to be cut out of the vehicle. The patrol said she was airlifted to Sentara Norfolk General as well.
Both remain hospitalized Wednesday.
