Twiggs County Family Says Kids Have To Travel On Dangerous Highway to Get to Bus Stop

DRY BRANCH, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A Twiggs County family is concerned about their kids safety after recent changes in their kids bus stop location.

Cars and trucks fly down Highway 80 in Twiggs County everyday, but after an incident that happened with a school bus last Thursday, Dianna Hester has to worry about her kids dodging drivers.

“The truck stopped behind the school bus and then decided he wanted to go around the school bus and not wait for my children to get off the school bus,” says Dianna Hester.

She says the truck swerved around the bus that was topped in the middle of the road. The driver blew his horn and sped off. On Wednesday her father-in-law, Sammy Hester, got a call from Twiggs County Schools Director of Transportation, James Beasley.
