California Highway Patrol Madera officers responded to a traffic crash involving an Alview-Dairyland Unified School District school bus on Avenue 21 at Road 8 on Tuesday morning.

A tow truck driver failed to stop at the stop sign, and entered the intersection, directly into the path of the school bus, who had the right-of-way.

The school bus driver was unable to avoid a crash, and the front of the school bus collided with the left side of the tow truck. The school bus had students on board, but, thankfully, no injuries were reported by anyone involved.
