School bus driver, girl hurt in Reno rollover
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A 32-year-old Reno woman has been cited for causing a rollover accident that injured a school bus driver and a toddler on the bus.
The Nevada Highway Patrol says Rosana Chavez was driving north on U.S. Highway 395 north of Reno about 12:30 p.m. Monday when she steered her 2003 Jetta out of her lane and clipped the back of the Washoe County bus.
The bus ran off the road and overturned in the dirt median.
The bus driver, 64-year-old Pedro Ortega of Sparks, and the only passenger, a 3-year-old girl in the pre-kindergarten program at Matthews Elementary, were treated for minor injuries at a Reno hospital.
Chavez was cited for failure to maintain her travel lane.
The wreck closed two of the northbound travel lanes for about 90 minutes.
