Fatal school bus crash in Greene County
The Tennessee Highway Patrol says the driver of a mini-van was killed in a crash involving a Greene County Schools mini-bus Thursday afternoon. The deceased driver is identified as Donald Crum, 58 of Greeneville. The 2:20 pm crash occurred at the intersection of Highway 11E and Twin Barns Road. According to the highway patrol, the school bus operated by 68-year-old Karen Dean of Greeneville was turning onto Twin Barns Road from 11E when she failed to yield to a Chevrolet Silverado. The bus struck the Silverado, causing it to spin and hit a Chevrolet Astro Van driven by Crum, pushing both vehicles off the roadway and causing the Silverado to roll and land on its top. Crum was not wearing a seatbelt. The bus driver and an aid who was also on the bus were both transported to a hospital, according to Greene County Director of Schools David McLain. A four-year-old who was on the bus was also injured, but McLain said both of the children are OK and both were picked up by their parents. Citations and criminal charges are pending against the school bus driver.
