A routine yesterday afternoon school run in Pleasanton turned frightening when a sedan collided with a school bus on U.S. 281 near the 2100 block of 2nd Street, leaving more than 40 students rattled but uninjured. Two people in the car were seriously hurt and flown to San Antonio hospitals, while police shut down the roadway so first responders and investigators could work the scene.
