minor accident involving a Fayette County school

bus and car occurred Monday afternoon in

Peachtree City at the intersection of Ga. Highway

54 and Peachtree Parkway.

According

to Peachtree City Police Chief Jim Murray, the

school bus (number 188), driven by Glennis Eugene

Jones, 62, was in the left lane of Hwy. 54 behind

a 1997 Camaro driven by Donald Harmon, 34, of

LaGrange, stopped at the traffic light.

As

the bus moved forward through the intersection,

it struck the rear of the Camaro, Murray said.

The bus driver was ticketed for following too

close, and the driver of the other vehicle was

arrested and charged with driving with a

suspended license and no insurance, police said.

Peachtree

City Police Officer J. Hughes reported that two

students aboard the bus complained of injuries. A

third person, Rebekah Abbot, 23, a passenger in

Harmon's vehicle, was transferred to the hospital

from the Police Department around 5:30 p.m.

stating she felt dizzy and sick.

According

to Pam Holt, school bus routing supervisor, bus

188 had picked up students at Booth Middle School

and McIntosh High School and was headed toward

drop-off points along Hip Pocket Road when the

accident occurred.
