School bus collision sends Almo juvenile to hospital

On Monday, October 5, 2020, at approximately 7:40 a.m., Calloway County Deputies responded to the intersection of Highway 121 and Airport Road for a report of a two vehicle injury collision.

Preliminary investigation has indicated a 17 year old male from Almo, Kentucky was driving a red Dodge Dakota, attempting to make a left turn from Airport Road onto Highway 121. At the same time, Donna Knieriem was driving a Calloway County School Bus northbound on Highway 121 approaching the intersection of Airport Road. For an unknown reason, the juvenile failed to yield the right of way to the oncoming bus and his vehicle was struck in the driver’s door area. At the time of the collision, no students were present on the school bus.

Murray-Calloway County Ambulance Service transported the juvenile driver of the Dodge Dakota truck to Murray-Calloway County Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries he received during the collision.
