Authorities are investigating a single-vehicle crash involving a Christian County school bus on South Old Madisonville Street in Crofton Monday morning.
Christian County Sheriff’s deputies say the bus was southbound when, for an unknown reason, it ran off the road, hitting an embankment, before coming to a stop. Deputies say the driver stated they may have blacked out before the crash.
Eight children on the bus were taken by Hopkinsville EMS to Jennie Stuart Health for what deputies said were non-life-threatening injuries.
According to the Christian County Public School System there were 36 students from Crofton Elementary, Christian County Middle, and Christian County High Schools on the school bus at the time of the crash.
The crash happened just south of the Kentucky 800 intersection just before 7 am.
