WILLIAMS, Ariz. (AP) - A school bus driver has been arrested for allegedly driving impaired after a crash injured several children in northern Arizona.

Coconino County Sheriff’s officials said 65-year-old Charles Hoag was taken into custody after Monday’s crash in Williams.

They said the school bus transporting 16 elementary-age students left the road and crashed into a ditch.



Several students suffered minor injuries and two were transported to a Flagstaff hospital for evaluation.

Sheriff’s officials said the incident was under investigation.

It was unclear Tuesday if Hoag has a lawyer yet who can speak on his behalf.
