No word yet on whether charges will be filed against a Hart County School Bus driver involved in an accident this week.

According to Georgia State Patrol Hartwell Post Trooper Colonel William Jordan, on Tuesday afternoon a school bus carrying children home crashed into a tree on Harbor Light Marina Road.

Jordan said deputies with the Hart County Sheriff’s Office, Hart County EMS, and the Hart County Fire Department called to the scene.

According to the incident report, the bus was carrying children home from North Hart Elementary School.

Jordan said the driver reported that he ran off the edge of the road and tried to correct it and get back on the road but couldn’t get the bus back under control and it struck a tree.

Three of the children on the bus were treated at the scene for minor injuries by EMS.

The rest of the children on the bus were not injured.

Most of the children on the bus were picked up by their families; the remaining children rode a secondary bus home.
