We have more details on the Rutherford County School Bus accident that occurred on Friday.

Rutherford County School Bus number 52 was rear ended this past Friday morning on John Bragg Highway near the Kittrell community. The County Schools Transportation director reports, "It was a significant wreck, but thankfully, our students and the bus driver were not injured."

The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that a 28 year old McMinnville man driving a GMC truck rear-ended the bus. Troopers told WGNS that Marcus Tittsworth was not wearing a safety belt when he hit the school bus. However, the troopers report showed that seat belts would not have made a difference in the officers' opinion.

Evidently, Tittsworth hit the truck as the bus was stopped and picking up children. Bus driver Curtis Manus, age 53, told police he had the stop arm extended and the safety lights flashing while stopped.
