On May 3 the Glasgow Police Department responded to an injury accident on Trojan Trail after a Barren County School bus was struck by a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder, who was attempting to make a left turn onto Trojan Trail.
Officers determined that the Nissan Pathfinder was operated by Larry Gibson of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Gibson “pulled into the path” of a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer that was operated by Glaswegian Layla Smith, which “caused her vehicle to collide with the Barren County Bus being operated by Brian Long of Cave City Ky.”
According to the release there were 30 students on the bus at the time of the crash.
Smith was treated for facial injuries and one student was treated for back pain. Neither Gibson nor Long suffered any injuries.
At the time of publication no additional information has been provided by Heather Gardner, public relations assistant for the school district.

A Barren County School District bus waiting on Trojan Trail to drop kids off for their day of school was involved in a collision involving “two personal vehicles,” according to Terry Flatt, public information officer at the Glasgow Police Department.
Detail are scarce thus far, according to Flatt. Heather Gardner, public relation assistant for the school district said she is currently en route to the high school to collect the most accurate information regarding the crash.
“It was a minor accident,” Heather Gardner, public relations assistant for the district. “More information is upcoming. Everything that’s been reported to me was that the bus was stationary.”
Flatt said the road is back open and only “minor injuries” were reported.
“There were minor injuries but nothing life threatening,” Flatt said.
