LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) — One member of the Raymore-Peculiar High School girls volleyball team remained hospitalized after the team bus collided with a truck on the way to a match.
Thirteen students were taken to hospitals after the accident in Lee’s Summit Monday. Police say the bus driver tried to make a U-turn when the truck hit the bus.
The Kansas City Star reports the student was in stable condition Tuesday with non life-threatening injuries. District spokeswoman Michele Stidham says the other students were treated and released. A 14th student who was taken to the hospital by her family also was treated and released.
Police say the team was on its way to a tournament at Lee’s Summit West High School when the driver missed a turn and tried to make the U-turn.
