School Bus Collision in Moses Lake

A Moses Lake School District bus was involved in a collision Tuesday morning at the intersection of Wheeler Road and Road O Northeast. No injuries were reported.

Authorities say the bus, driven by 48-year-old Daniel Cardona of Moses Lake, was traveling eastbound in the outside lane of the 14000 block of Wheeler Road Northeast after picking up students.

As the bus began to accelerate, it was rear-ended by a 2015 Ford Fiesta driven by 29-year-old Heather Johnson of Ephrata.

The passenger car went partially underneath the bus.

Neither Cardona nor the 16 students on board were injured.

Johnson and her two rear-seat passengers, ages 3 and 4, were also unhurt. The children were properly restrained in car seats.

District officials say students were transferred to another bus and continued on to school.
