GAINESVILLE — A Cleveland woman has been identified as the victim of a crash involving a Hall County school bus Tuesday afternoon.
Georgia State Patrol Sgt. Anthony Coleman said Wednesday morning that 52-year-old Sabrina Tench was the driver of a passenger vehicle that was hit by the bus on Cleveland Highway at Whitmire Road. Tench was the only person in the vehicle.
Six students that were on board the bus were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical with minor injuries, "out of an abundance of caution." All six were treated and released by Tuesday evening, according to Hall County system spokesman Gordon Higgins.
