PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — A school bus with 25 children on board escaped injury to its passengers Monday morning after police say the driver ran a stop sign in Putnam County.
The bus, driven by a 45-year-old Interlachen woman, was traveling eastbound on Adrian Avenue as a pickup truck pulling a trailer was traveling northbound on Mariners Lake Drive.
