There’s been another school bus accident.

This time in Magnolia, Delaware.

60 year old Sharon Hunter was heading down Walnut Shade road near Millchop Lane when a school bus turned into the path of her PT Cruiser around 8 a.m. this morning.

She applied the brakes but hit the left side of the bus near the rear axle driven by 72-year old James Bennett.

His bus dragged the car around 50 feet before stopping.

Hunter and her two passengers – ages 7 and 2 -- were taken to Kent General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Five of the 42 children on board the bus -- ages 6 through 11 -- were also taken the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Bennett was cited for failing to stop at a stop sign.
