City Seeking Additional State Funds Low Bids On Waste Project $784,870 Treated At Doctors 9 Offices 34 Hurt In Hoke School Bus Accident A total of 34 South Hoke Elementary School students were injured hut apparently not seriously about 7:45 a.m. Monday when the school bus in which they were riding to their classes ran off SR 11 06 into a ditch. The accident happened about a rnilc and a quarter northeast of Antioch. State trooper Bowden said the students were treated in Raeford by Drs. R.M. Jordan. Robert Town send and Ramnik Zota at the doctors' offices, then released. He said the children suffered minor cuts and "bumps." The bus. No. 25. was being driven south by Alfred Galloway. Jr.? 21. of Rt. 1. Box 667. Red Springs, when he saw the car traveling north in the school bus's lane, causing Galloway to swerve oft the road to avoid a collision, the officer quoted the bus driver as saving. The bus ran into a ditch and turned over on its side. The car didn't stop, the officer said. Later, however. Hoke County Schools Supt. Raz Autry said Galloway's license to drive school buses was withdrawn after students on the bus were interviewed. He said Galloway reportedly "was talking with kids" while he was driving. Autry said state law is specific on bus driving and there was "no excuse" for the accident. He said the results could have been much worse, since the ditch the bus went into is six feet deep and that side windows of the bus were broken by the accident. Autry also said 6" students were tin the bus at the time of the accident. Galloway is not a student. Bowden said. The bus wasn't moving more ihan 35 miles per hour when it left ;hc rivad. since governors on all North Carolina school buses kept the vehicles from traveling any faster. Galloway reportedly said he had turned to talk to some students who were making a disturbance. A rule ts. however, that a driver must stop the bus before acting on a distur bance. Mondax afternoon, an anony mous telephone caller told Th? \cws~Jtkurmil South Hoke School's bus drivers were going to strike. The caller didn't say what the reason for the stnke plan was but apparently it was the lifting of Galloway's bus-dri\ing duties. When classes ended, three of the seven regular bus drivers hadn't appeared at school to take the children home, but were replaced by others South Hoke Principal Woodrow West all said none of those who tailed to appear for the Students wku were am tke school bus im tke mtiJemt but were umimmrexd are shown waning with <*J*/r nmm foe ike substitute bms dispatched ru take tkem tke rest at tke w ro classes photo by Pam Frexiemck. I afternoon driving notified his office that the* wouldn't come and no one mentioned a "strike." Autry. questioned earlier in the afternoon, said he hadn't heard about a strike plan but if drivers did jto on strike then would be replaced immediate^ . The results of the failure of the three drivers to appear at the schools were delays of about a half hour and more in the children's regular departure time. The bus accident and injuries kept Westall and his staff bus? all da? trying to reach parents of the children involved to notify them of the accident. Bo* den said 66 students were aboard the bus. besides the driver. He said the children ranged from about 6 to years old. The injured students were taken to Raeford foe treatment bv two ambulances of the Hoke County Ambulance Service and one of the Hoke Count? Rescue Squad The Rescue Squad also sent two other emergency nonambulance vehicles to the scene. Bowden expressed his thanks to people in private cars who stopped at the scene and took care of the Bus So. 25 sAows somr damage to its bod?
