WINDSOR, Colo.-
The driver of a school bus that overturned, injuring six members of Fort Collins high school choir has been charged with six counts of careless driving causing injury, authorities said.
David Hurt, 55, of Fort Collin, also was charged with one count of careless driving causing serious bodily injury, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Gilbert Mares said.
There was no telephone listing for Hurt and it was unclear whether he had retained an attorney.
Thirty students and chaperones were aboard when the bus crashed near Windsor, 50 miles north of Denver, early Monday. Hurt was not injured.
Mares, in a statement following the accident, said the bus had been in the right lane of northbound I-25 when it drifted off the left side of the road into the median and struck a safety rail twice before tipping over.
The Poudre Valley High School choir members were returning to Fort Collins after a performance and reception in Denver.
