OUTER BANKS, N.C. — A Currituck Public School bus and a truck were involved in a crash Tuesday morning, according to the Crawford Township Volunteer Fire Dept.

The crash happened on Shortcut Road in Northeast N.C., the department said.

After the crash, personnel from the Crawford Township Volunteer Fire Dept. got the driver of the truck out of the vehicle, the department said.

The driver was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive, according to county officials.

A Currituck County School spokesperson told the Voice that “there were no injuries to students or staff” following the crash.

No other details were provided by the spokesperson, although a post earlier in the morning on the Currituck County Facebook page informed families of the Central Elementary School in Barco that “Bus 20 has been delayed this morning. A call will follow from our Transportation Department with more details. Thank you for your patience and understanding!”
