On the day of the crash, the school bus driver drifted off at times, and then later that morning, the bus crashed into the rear of a Honda that had its brake lights and turn blinker on.
The girl was sitting in the back of the Honda when the bus hit. The force of the crash crushed the back of the Honda all of the way up into the passenger compartment, obliterating the rear third of the car. The girl's head and face were subjected to forces that broke her jawbone, a bone in her neck, and caused a closed head injury to the brain. She was taken by ambulance to Portland for emergency trauma services. Her medical procedures and bills still continue to pile up, now years after the crash. The case was finally settled for a confidential amount through mediation.
