A driver is under investigation for DUI and vehicular homicide after a passenger in the driver’s car died following a collision with a school bus.<\/p>\n

According to Renton Regional Fire Authority spokesperson Sara Morris, fire crews responded Dec. 19 to reports of a head-on collision on NE Third Street between Bronson Way NE and Edmonds Avenue NE. The collision reportedly involved a sedan and a school bus.<\/p>\n

Morris said when responders arrived on the scene, it was determined that one patient was trapped in a passenger vehicle and needed to be extricated by their crews. The roadway was shut down.<\/p>\n

Renton Police Department spokesperson Meeghan Black said initial police investigations identified that the sedan was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed on NE Third Street before the driver lost control of his car and hit a Renton School District bus coming up the hill. The impact of the collision killed the front passenger of the sedan.<\/p>\n

The driver and the rear passenger were taken to the hospital for minor injuries, according to Black. The driver of the sedan is under investigation for DUI and vehicular homicide.<\/p>\n

Black said there were two children and two adults on the bus. The children were not injured. The adults were taken to the hospital as a precaution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
