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.
