A school bus driver in Fredericksburg, VA has been charged with reckless driving after a crash that injured herself and nine students, reports the Manassas Patch.

Prince William County resident Veronica Ofelia Espinosa, 37, was driving a 2007 Thomas school bus north on Bethlehem Road at around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11th, and as she approached Sudley Manor Dr., she allegedly failed to stop at an intersection and made a right turn, colliding with a 1999 GMC truck.

The accident sent nine children to the hospital with minor injuries that included mostly bruises and bumps. Espinosa also suffered minor injuries and received hospital treatment.

Espinosa was released on a summons later Tuesday after the collision.

A reckless driving conviction carries a maximum of 12 months in jail and a fine of $2,500.
