GAINESVILLE - Two people were injured when a Jeep struck a Gainesville City school bus Monday morning just before 8 a.m.<br />
<br />
Sgt. Anthony Coleman with the Georgia State Patrol said the accident happened on EE Butler Parkway at the intersection with Summit Street when the Jeep ran a red light and hit the bus.<br />
<br />
"The driver of the Jeep stated that the sun was in his (sic) eyes - there was a glare - didn't see the traffic light," said Coleman.<br />
<br />
He said witnesses to the accident confirmed there was a glare from the morning sun that could have contributed to the crash.<br />

Coleman said the impact caused the Jeep to overturn completely, coming back to rest on its tires after it flipped. He said the driver, 37-year-old Amy Richardson of Cumming, was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. In addition, the driver of the school bus, 61-year-old Susan Jarrard, complained of injuries and was taken to the hospital.<br />
<br />
Coleman did not know to which school the children were being transported.<br />
