A Brussels teenager received
minor injuries during last Thurs
day’s snowfall when the car in
which she was a passenger slid into
a school bus which was backing
into a driveway off county road 16.
Corrinna Stephenson, 15, was
slightly injured when a car driven
by her I7-year-old sister, Char
lene, was unable to stop due to
slippery '■oad conditions, and hit a
school bus which was being backed
off the road by William A. Nethery
of RR 4, Brussels. She was taken to
Wingham & District Hospital by
private car, and later released.
According to a spokesman for
the Wingham detachment of the
OPP, the driver of the bus saw the
Stephenson car approaching and
put on his flashing lights to warn
her the road was slippery. Instead,
Miss Stephenson interpreted the
flashing signals to mean that she
must stop, and applied her brakes
when it was unsafe to do so, sliding
into the bus.
Mr. Nethery was subsequently
charged with the improper use of
his flashing lights. Damage to the
Stephenson car was estimated at
$2,500, whiledam age to thebus
was set at $700.
Wingham OPP said there had
been several other fender-benders
in the area during the snowfall, but
no serious occurrences due to the
weather.
