A vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign struck an Okeechobee County school bus Wednesday morning and sent it into a home, the school district said, according to WPBF. No students were aboard. The district said no one was injured, including either driver and the people in the home.
The crash’s exact location and whether any citations were issued had not been announced, WFLX reported. CBS12 said it was awaiting responses from the Okeechobee County School District and the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office.
The bus damaged part of homeowner Florencia Trejo’s roof, CBS12 reported. Trejo said she was asleep when the crash happened and was unhurt. She was concerned rain could damage the roof before repairs, and said the school district had not contacted her about the damage as of Wednesday.
Trejo told CBS12 that officers at the scene said whoever was found responsible would likely have to pay for repairs. No determination of fault had been reported.
