A fourth student and the driver are OK, according to Dr. Michael Thorsland, assistant superintendent for operations.

Thorsland went to the scene late Monday afternoon to gather evidence of what was the third bus accident within the last year and a half.

The scene was far western Oconee County, on the Unity Church Road, in the vicinity of where the state DOT is working on a bridge crossing Toxaway Creek.
