Kansas Bus Plunges From Bridge Into Creek

Ten children and a school bus driver have been rescued in Kansas after the bus they were travelling in plunged into creek swollen by heavy rain.

As the bus lay on its side half-submerged, the children climbed through a roof hatch to await rescue, officials say.

Emergency personnel reached the bus and put the children and driver in life jackets before putting them on a boat two by two and pulling them to dry ground.

The accident happened outside Douglass, a town of about 1,700 residents southeast of Wichita.

The 60-year-old driver was taken to a hospital to be checked for hypothermia.

Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet said all of the children were eventually turned over to their parents.

She said the older children, who were 13, helped get the younger ones as they awaited rescue.

Some sections of roads in the area were still covered by water from recent heavy rain.
