No Pennsbury students were on board when a district bus veered of I-95 by Durham Road in Middletown and crashed into a wooded embankment Friday afternoon.

The accident was reported to authorities at around 1:40 p.m. and only involved the bus. Traffic delays on southbound I-95 were reported as first responders arrived to the scene.

“We don’t know the cause, but we are grateful the driver avoided hitting any other cars and no one else was hurt,” school board member Jacqui Redner said.

The bus driver was taken to St. Mary Medical Center for non-life-threatening treatment.

State police are investigating the crash.

The bus had dirt hanging from it as a tow truck moved it from the scene.

A bus accident several miles up the highway took place in July. Several students were taken to the hospital following that crash, which involved a chartered bus.
