Police say a woman who couldn't afford to get the brakes fixed on her car drove through a red light and crashed with school bus carrying elementary school children home in western Ohio.
Kettering police Lt. Bill Karolyi says one child was taken to a hospital as a precaution following the crash at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday. He says the driver of the car and her adult son passenger also went to a hospital.
Karolyi says the driver and her son said they knew the car had faulty brakes but that the poor economy prevented them from getting repairs. He says she will be cited for running the light and that investigators will look into further charges.
Karolyi says 18 children were on the bus, and that parents and a second bus took them home.
