Traffic was stopped while Guthrie Police survey the scene and crews were able to clear off the road.

On Wednesday, EMS transported three school children to the hosptial for minor injuries after a Guthrie school bus was rear ended by a white F-250 truck near the intersection of Wentz and Noble.

Road accidents are more common than we like to think, but some instances can occur more frequently depending on the season. Cattle trucks naturally experience more incidents in the summer months when there are more such vehicles on the road. A sudden shifting weight from the cattle can cause trucks to overturn and cause severe incidents.
