Bus driver praised after accident involving Norton High athletes

WAKEENEY — One person was injured in an accident just after 1 a.m. Sunday in Trego County.

The Trego County Sheriff’s Office reported a vehicle driven by Logan Zahn, 18, WaKeeney, was traveling on U.S. 283 north of WaKeeney and turned in front of a charter activity bus carrying 11 students-athletes and three coaches from Norton High School.

“We are very fortunate,” USD 211 Superintendent Greg Mann said. “The bus driver did an outstanding job keeping the bus upright as it rolled into the ditch. There could have been a lot of injuries.”

The bus was returning from the state track meet.

Zahn was transported to a Trego County-Lemke Memorial Hospital, treated and released, according to officials. No other injuries were reported.
