WILLOW RIVER, Minnesota (WCCO) — Authorities in Pine County are asking for the public’s help in locating a driver who nearly hit students leaving a school bus last week.
According to the county sheriff’s office, the incident took place on Dec. 21 at around 3:22 p.m. on County Road 41 in Willow River.
Video footage from the school bus shows a motorist in a 1994 Ford Ranger pass another vehicle on the shoulder before driving past a school bus with its stop sign out. A couple of students were exiting at the time, and one had to run to get out of the way of the truck.
Authorities say the truck had a license plate number of 116KPL.
“We are looking for assistance in finding the driver of this vehicle when the incident happened,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.
