A Lake Tahoe Unified School District bus carrying 15 students slid off the road Friday morning. No one was injured.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the bus driver was west on 13th Street near Gardner Street at a slow rate of speed when she was unable to stop because of the slick road.

This caused the front of the bus to start sliding down Gardner Street. The driver side front wheels went off the edge of the road.

While the bus was sliding it hit a stop sign on Gardner Street.

“There was no indication that this icy intersection had been sanded at the time of the collision,” Officer Mike Garrity said in his report.

The accident occurred at 7:47am Nov. 17.
