A Tragic Accident: School Bus and Semi Collide in Summitville

A shocking incident occurred on Monday afternoon in Summitville, Indiana, when a farming semi-truck collided with a Madison-Grant United School Corporation bus at a rural intersection. Miraculously, there were no students on the bus at the time of the accident, which occurred around 2:30 pm.

According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, the semi-truck was traveling southbound on County Road 300 East when it failed to stop at a stop sign at C.R. 1550 N. The driver, 19-year-old Cameron Bair of Summitville, lost control of the vehicle, which then crashed into the school bus traveling west.

The impact was severe, sending both vehicles off the road and flipping them onto their sides. The bus driver, 35-year-old Bethany Gibson of Gaston, was treated for minor injuries at a hospital in Anderson. Bair was airlifted to IU Methodist in Indianapolis, where he was listed in stable condition.

Thanks to the quick response of emergency services and the fortuitous absence of students, the accident did not result in any serious injuries or fatalities. The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
