Pembroke Hill School 6th Graders Injured In Minor Bus Crash

A school bus carrying sixth grade girls from Pembroke Hill School in Kansas City, Mo. overturned at a ramp at the intersection of Kansas 7 and Kaw Drive in Wyandotte County, Kan. early this afternoon. Nine children have reportedly been transported to hospitals, none of them suffering critical injuries. 

KCUR is following the story and will provide updates in our afternoon newscasts.

I’ve been at KCUR almost 30 years, working partly for NPR and splitting my time between local and national reporting. I work to bring extra attention to people in the Midwest, my home state of Kansas and of course Kansas City. What I love about this job is having a license to talk to interesting people and then crafting radio stories around their voices. It’s a big responsibility to uphold the truth of those stories while condensing them for lots of other people listening to the radio, and I take it seriously.
