No one was hurt when an Oak Ridge school bus slipped off a gravel road Wednesday morning. District superintendent Dr. Gerald Landewee said the bus with 13 students on board went partially into a ditch on Cape Girardeau County Road 472 when the driver was backing up. One of the back tires came too close to the edge of the road, he said. Another bus was dispatched by the district to transport the students to school. A wrecker pulled the bus from the ditch. It was determined to be fully operational and returned to the district grounds.
