Note: A story in the "Ottumwa Courier" on the same date of publication relates that Susan LAMPE PRESLEY was driving on V-64 about 1½ miles north of Lebanon when she crossed the center line and struck the bus. Her car ended up in one ditch and the bus in the opposite ditch. Six students were on board the bus; three were uninjured, and three were treated and released at the Van Buren County Hospital, as was the bus driver. Susan was taken to the same hospital by ambulance and pronounced dead there.
The bus driver was credited with keeping the bus on its wheels even though it went into a steep ravine, and safely evacuating the children.
