Utica, MI (December 16, 2021) - As previously reported, a Utica Community Schools bus driver was arrested on Tuesday, December 14 after the bus she was driving was found off of the roadway where it had run into a street sign.
Police in Sterling Heights stated that the bus was occupied by 30-40 students from Henry Ford II High School at the time. The crash happened at about 4:00 p.m., sources said. After suspecting that the bus driver was intoxicated, police performed a breath test. They found her blood alcohol content to be 0.10. The legal limit for driving in Michigan is 0.08. She was arrested on-site for driving under the influence.
The collision occurred near Hall and Schoenherr Roads. Initially, it was reported that none of the students were injured, however, recent information indicates that a boy was hurt in the crash. He sustained an internal brain bleed in the back of his head as well as a serious concussion, according to information from his family.
The boy remains in the hospital recovering at this time. His identity has not been reported.
Authorities in Utica continue to investigate.
We hope for the full and speedy recovery of the injured victim.
