Two people were killed Thursday afternoon when their vehicle collided with a school bus in Aiken, authorities said.
The driver and passenger were not immediately identified, pending positive identification and notification of their family. The only student on the bus – from a local middle school – was checked at the hospital and released, and the bus driver was not injured.
The accident happened at approximately 12:18 p.m. Thursday on Wrights Mill Road at Rushton Road, east of Aiken.
“A 2018 Toyota Corolla, with two occupants, were traveling north on Rushton Road when it collided with a school bus that was traveling east on Wrights Mill Road,” Coroner Darryl Ables said. “Both occupants of the Toyota were pronounced deceased on scene and will be autopsied Friday morning in Newberry.”
The Coroner’s Office along with South Carolina Highway Patrol are continuing with the investigation.
