SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies are investigating after a school bus hit a stop sign in Sarasota County Thursday morning.
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said the bus was traveling north on Aquila Street before trying to make a left turn onto Adriatic Street around 8:33 a.m. It then struck a stop sign, which was leaning over the road due to Hurricane Milton.
The sign damaged six windows as the bus completed the turn.
There were three people on board during the incident: the driver, a school board employee and a student. Deputies said the parent of the student was notified.
SCSO said no one was injured during the accident.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
