A two-vehicle accident involving a school bus occurred on South Main Street in Brownsville this morning. Mandy Reynolds, driving a Ford Ranger pickup, was traveling north and had stopped to turn in her driveway on Main Street when she was hit from behind by Edmonson County School Bus #221. Kentucky State Police reported that the driver of the bus was Marilyn D. Wells of Brownsville. KSP also said that no injuries were reported and that there were no passengers on the school bus. 

Lannie Deweese, Director of Transportation for Edmonson County Schools, said that there was very little damage to the bus and that the bus driver was fine. Ms. Reynolds said that her small pickup suffered quite a hit. "You can imagine that the impact of the school bus felt anything but light. I was wearing my seat belt, though, and I feel fine," she said. "The bus driver was very cooperative. She asked if I was okay and called dispatch right away."
