None of the nine children who were on a school bus struck from behind by a work truck were transported to a hospital, deputies say.
Charleston County deputies, the Awendaw-McClellanville Consolidated Fire District and Charleston County EMS responded to Highway 17 near Milcrest Drive in Awendaw at 6:41 a.m.
The bus was traveling southbound Wednesday morning on Highway 17 to St. James-Santee Elementary when it began to slow for an approaching stop, Charleston County Sheriff's Maj. Eric Watson said.
An incident report indicates the driver of a work van was distracted and hit the bus.
One child was evaluated by EMS, but not taken to a hospital. No other injuries were reported, according to the fire department.
No citations were issued in the accident, Watson said.
