December 2, 2004 | LOGAN -- At the last stop of the day, a Cache County school bus was rear-ended Tuesday at 1350 W. 1800 South in Logan around 4:30 p.m.

The school bus was driven by Melanie Petersen of North Logan and was bringing children home from Woodruff Elementary School when the accident happened.

The bus was stopped with lights flashing and children were unloading when it was rear-ended. Maria Medran, 29, of Logan was driving a 1991 Ford Probe, as she tried to brake behind the school bus. As she tried to stop she hit a patch of ice and slid into the rear left corner of the bus.

The accident did $1,000 in damage to the bus, and $2,000 to the car. Medran was cited for following too closely and for no proof of insurance.

No children were on the bus when it was hit. Medran had two children in her car, but no one was injured in the accident.
