WEST OLIVE, Mich. – Emergency responders in Ottawa County, Michigan were scrambling Thursday morning to respond to two school bus crashes that occurred within 10 minutes of each other.

The first occurred around 7:45 a.m. as an Allendale Public Schools bus headed south down 120th Avenue in Olive Township. Another vehicle was attempting to pass going the opposite direction and lost control and broadsided the bus, pushing it into a trailer full of pumpkins along the roadside, Fox 17 reports.

The bus driver, Patricia Vereeke, and the 24 students aboard were not injured, but the driver of the other vehicle, Aron Michael Lyon, of West Olive, was ticketed in the collision, according to WOOD.

The crash prompted school officials to dispatch a second bus to pick up students because the first bus was inoperable, and Willis Laverne Meyer, 64, was on his way after dropping students off at Careerline Tech Center when the second crash occurred, according to WZZM.

Meyer was driving east on Port Sheldon road near 136th Avenue when a semi truck heading the other way crossed the center line and smashed into the bus shortly before 8 a.m.

Meyer was the only person on the bus.

Police believe the semi driver, 65-year-old Lee Teravest, of Byron Township, may have had a medical issue in the vehicle prior to the collision, which rolled the bus into a ditch in a residential area. The semi truck was carrying wastewater, and a second truck came to siphon it from the scene, WOOD reports.

Both Teravest and Meyer were escorted to the hospital for minor injuries, though both were alert and walking when they left the crash site, according to WOOD.

“I dropped off my kids at school and I came back in and I was in the kitchen when I heard the crash,” said Mike Depree, who lives where the second bus came to rest. “It sounded like a big clap of thunder. … It was very loud.”

School officials dispatched a third bus to pick up the students from the first crash and they eventually made it to school.
