A school bus driver in Blades was cited, after she apparently drove into the path of another vehicle.

Delaware State Police say on Thursday morning, just before 8:30 AM, 59-year-old Alice Collick, of Laurel, was driving a 2004 International School Bus on 8th Street, where it was stopped. Police say the bus then made a right hand turn onto South Market Street, but pulled right into the path of a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer, driven by 42-year-old Gabrieala Rojas-Herrara.

According to the report, the bus hit the Trailblazer on the back right passenger door and fender, with its front left bumper. Both vehicles were apparently able to come to controlled stops after the collision.

Police say Collick, and 18 students on board the bus were uninjured in the collision. Collick was ticketed for failure to remain stopped.

Rojas-Herrera was reportedly taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital by EMS, with non-life threatening injuries, and ticketed for driving while suspended.
