53 college students unhurt after Saturday morning bus accident

A bus accident on Interstate 80 between the Grinnell and Kellogg exits left 53 college students temporarily stranded on Saturday morning.

Around 10 a.m., a bus shuttling Grinnell College students to the Des Moines International Airport for a number of holiday flights went off the road when the driver had a sudden medical emergency. The bus did not roll over, and emergency medical responders determined no students were hurt on the scene.

School buses from Newton were brought on site to transport all the passengers to Skiff Medical Center. The students were triaged in the Skiff Emergency Department, with only one of them needing treatment for a minor condition before being released.
