A tractor-trailer driver was injured Sept. 1 after the vehicle struck a Patrick County Public Schools bus on U.S. 58 at Trot Valley Road.
Virginia State Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Richard Garletts said the crash was reported at 8:09 a.m. and involved a tractor-trailer and a school bus.
“The tractor trailer claims the loss of brakes and struck the bus. The driver of the TT (tractor trailer) was injured,” he said.
The tractor-trailer driver was charged following the crash, Garletts said. A Virginia State Police trooper went to the hospital to interview the driver.
The Virginia Department of Transportation also set up traffic control while the tractor-trailer was recovered.
