ROY — A car crashed into a parked school bus at 3550 West and 5500 South, about 8 a.m. Wednesday.
The driver had been travelling east on 5500 South, near Roy, and the Weber County Sheriff’s Office believed the driver was using or was about to use her cellular phone, Lt. John Morrow said.
The car struck the rear driver side of the Weber School District bus, which was empty at the time.
Morrow said buses usually wait in the area for their next route.
An ambulance took the driver to the hospital for head, neck, face and back injuries. The driver was alone in the car and no one else was injured in the crash.
Morrow said at this time, the Sheriff’s Office believes that the combination of the use of the cellular phone and the sun caused the accident.
“This just shows the dangers of the combination of the two,” Morrow said.
The case is still under investigation and a citation may be issued.
