A Marion County school bus was involved in a crash on U.S. 441 in Ocala on Wednesday evening.
At around 5:15 p.m., a truck and school bus were both heading southbound on U.S. 441, near the intersection of SE 52nd Street. The truck was traveling within the inside lane and the school bus was in the outside lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol incident report.
FHP stated that the driver of the truck, identified in the report as a 36-year-old Belleview man, failed to notice the traffic that was stopped in front of him. Moments later, he lost control of his truck and traveled into the outside lane.
