A minor accident involving a Fayette County school bus and car occurred Monday afternoon in Peachtree City at the intersection of Ga. Highway 54 and Peachtree Parkway.

According to Peachtree City Police Chief Jim Murray, the school bus (number 188), driven by Glennis Eugene Jones, 62, was in the left lane of Hwy. 54 behind a 1997 Camaro driven by Donald Harmon, 34, of LaGrange, stopped at the traffic light.

As the bus moved forward through the intersection, it struck the rear of the Camaro, Murray said. The bus driver was ticketed for following too close, and the driver of the other vehicle was arrested and charged with driving with a suspended license and no insurance, police said.

Peachtree City Police Officer J. Hughes reported that two students aboard the bus complained of injuries. A third person, Rebekah Abbot, 23, a passenger in Harmon's vehicle, was transferred to the hospital from the Police Department around 5:30 p.m. stating she felt dizzy and sick.

According to Pam Holt, school bus routing supervisor, bus 188 had picked up students at Booth Middle School and McIntosh High School and was headed toward drop-off points along Hip Pocket Road when the accident occurred.
