According to the Lakeport Police Department, officers arrested a 17-year-old for DUI.
 
Around 7:43 a.m., the teen struck a People Services bus as the bus traveled eastbound on Armstrong Street. Heading southbound on South Estep Street before the impact, the teen blew through the intersection’s stop sign, which resulted in the crash.
 
Following the accident, three bus passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Paramedics examined the patients and released them shortly after.

We hear it all the time – drinking and driving is a major factor in car accidents. If you’re impaired, never get behind the wheel. Instead of driving yourself home, rely on a trusted sober friend instead. Better outcomes stem from responsible decision-making such as never driving while drunk.
