Driver nearly hits children exiting school bus

Sharing is caring!



Authorities in Minnesota are asking for the public’s help in locating a driver who nearly hit students leaving a school bus last week.

According to the Pine County Sheriff’s Office, the incident took place on Dec. 21 at around 3:22 p.m. on County Road 41 in Willow River.

Video footage from the school bus shows a motorist in a Ford Ranger pass another vehicle on the shoulder before driving past a school bus with its stop sign out. A couple of students were exiting at the time, and one had to run to get out of the way of the truck. #shorts

  1. Brianna Johnson
    By February 2025, she was:
    Convicted of not stopping for a school bus
    Sentenced to 2 years of probation
    Ordered to: Complete 100 hours of community service
    Pay about $580–$600 in fines
    Write a letter of apology.
    She did that but not to the public.
    She did not serve no time made me say wow!

  2. I’m very glad that the kids could escape that reckless, dangerous guy in his pickup truck and that they are ok.
    What a shame. Apparently, stopping for a school bus and protecting children from being hit by your vehicle
    are optional rules for some pickup drivers.
    Instead of stopping, this reckless guy apparently decided to hit the gas and pass an already stopped school bus.
    He nearly hit young school kids.
    But hey, I guess when you’re sitting behind the wheel of a pickup truck and up on that “high horse,”
    you get to make up your own traffic laws, right?
    School buses, children, and basic road safety apparently don’t apply to you.
    Everyone else can just get out of your way.
    What a ridiculous and dangerous attitude!

  3. Children were smarter than the drivers…. Take their dl & make them do 100's of hrs of community service with Parents of lost children, MADD, Any other group that drivers need to pull their heads out & pay attention.
