The Mille Lacs County Sheriff’s Office share dash cam video capturing a terrifying near head-on collision with a semi truck.
The close call occurred around 7:15 a.m. on February 5 on U.S. Highway 169 in Mille Lacs County in central Minnesota.
Police say that a northbound semi truck crossed over into the lane of the southbound bus, forcing the bus driver to take evasive action to avoid a head-on crash.
The semi collided with the rear passenger side of the school bus.
Four students and four staff members were on board the bus, but no serious injuries were reported.
School bus driver Brian Lathrop “undoubtedly saved many lives,” Sheriff Kyle Burton said.
