Canfield police investigating crash of two school buses

CANFIELD — City police are investigating the crash of two Canfield city school buses, the drivers of which are on administrative leave while school officials conduct their own probe.

Assistant Police Chief Andy Bodzak said a bus backed into another bus around 8:30 a.m. Monday on Montgomery Drive, but the department wasn’t notified of the accident until about 3 p.m. that day.

Bodzak said it was the mother of a Hilltop Elementary student on one of the buses who actually informed police of the crash. “The mother called us asking for the police report, and we told her we had no information on this,” he said.

Bodzak said the driver told police during questioning today that he was attempting to get a better view of a student waiting for the bus, but the bus windows were foggy.
