SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) - Pinal County authorities say a 74-year-old school bus driver has died after a crash into a fence in San Tan Valley.
County Sheriff’s officials say the Florence Unified School District bus was just leaving Poston Butte High School to pick up students and there was only a driver and an assistant driver aboard at the time of the crash about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday.
They say Jerzy Adamsyzk was rushed to a hospital with serious injuries to his head and abdominal area and later died there.
However, authorities say it’s unclear if Adamsyzk died from injuries associated with the crash or suffered some sort of medical episode.
Sheriff’s officials say the assistant bus driver was taken to a hospital as a precaution. His name wasn’t immediately released.
