PHOENIX — A school bus driver in Arizona was arrested this week for allegedly driving under the influence before being involved in a collision that injured two students.
Sherri Sessions, 56, is accused of driving impaired in the collision that occurred around 8 a.m. Monday while the Payson Unified School District bus was headed to Payson High.
It’s still unclear whether another vehicle was involved in the collision with the bus.
Two students aboard the bus were taken to a hospital. Their names, ages and conditions haven’t been released.
