BUS ACCIDENT— A Menominee Transit bus is righted onto the highway after being struck by an SUV Wednesday evening. The bus driver and three occupants of an SUV that struck it received minor injuries in an accident just north of the City of Shawano on state Highway 47/55 and Lake Drive, according to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s Department Lieutenant Jesse Sperberg said the SUV was heading west when it went through a stop sign and struck the northbound bus, causing it to roll onto its side. The driver was the only person in the bus, Sperberg said. The driver of the SUV was arrested at the scene for not having a valid drivers license and another occupant was arrested on an active warrant.
