Archived: Holdingford School Bus Crashes Due to Icy Road Conditions

HOLDINGFORD, Minn. (AP) – Authorities say no one was hurt when a car rear-ended a school bus on an icy road in central Minnesota.

The Holdingford School District bus was carrying 32 students when the crash happened just after 7:30 a.m. Friday at the intersection of County Roads 3 and 131 in Brockway Township.

The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office says the bus had stopped for a stop sign and was pulling forward when it was struck in the rear by a car driven by 16-year-old Trent Joseph Sand of Avon and carrying two juvenile passengers.

Authorities say the car apparently was unable to stop on the icy road.

The students were transferred to another bus. The Minnesota State Patrol and Avon police department assisted with the crash investigation.
