10/18/2004

Troopers from the Ohio Highway Patrol s Toledo post will work in school zones in Lucas and Fulton counties, follow school buses, and strictly enforce school and bus-related motor vehicle laws this week as part of National School Bus Safety Week.

In 2003, there were 2,296 school bus crashes in Ohio. The highway patrol encourages drivers and parents to think about bus safety and teach children to stay a safe distance from buses.
