A Bemidji School bus filled with children crashed into a power line pole near the Sanford Center.
Three vehicles, including the bus, were involved in the incident at County Road 12 and Pershing Avenue SW around
8 AM. According to Bemidji Police Chief Mike Mastin, icy roads appear to be a factor in the crash.
A Lakeland PBS employee saw the scene shortly after the incident occurred. Jason Raveling witnessed a truck that was missing a tire being towed away with additional damage on its side.
A second bus that was not involved in the incident was also on the scene.
According to the Police Department, no one was injured during the crash.

The bus did not hit the light pole initially. It was going pretty fast and couldn’t stop for the stop sign and broad sided the pickup that I was driving, sending me into the oncoming traffic lanes with no back tire. I was able to dodge and correct and get back safely to my lanes. I’m just glad no one was hurt.
