KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. — A crash involving a school bus and a tree trimming truck north of Silverdale resulted in two injuries Monday afternoon.
The crash led to the closure of NW Half Mile Road between Clear Creek Road NW and Southern Boundary Road.
The driver of the bus and one person from the truck were transported to local hospitals, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
Three students on the bus were uninjured. They were able to leave the bus using the emergency exits and were evaluated by paramedics as a precaution before being released to their parents or guardians.
The sheriff's department did not give an ETA for when the road would reopen.
The crash occurred when the trimming truck stopped partially in the road to remove construction signs. The bus rear-ended the truck.
The truck driver and his co-worker were outside of their vehicle at the time. The co-worker was being treated for minor injuries.
The bus driver was seriously injured, but stable when he was transported, according to the Central Kitsap Fire District.
