The driver who hit a Lafayette County school bus Thursday suffered moderate injuries, according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol that released additional details on the crash.

At about 6:23 a.m. on Thursday, MHP troopers, along with Lafayette County firefighters and sheriff’s deputies, responded to a crash on Highway 6 near County Road 429 that involved a vehicle and a school bus with students on board.

According to MHP, a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Brandon M. Higgason, 25, of Ecru, was traveling east on Highway 6 when it collided with the rear of a 2014 International Lafayette County school bus driven by Christopher L. Alexander, 44, of Oxford.
