CORNING, CA (May 15, 2022) – Thursday afternoon, Tyler Mitchell and Angelica Castillo suffered injuries in a crash on South Avenue.

As the bus traveled east, it stopped at the railroad tracks before the Kirkwood intersection. Then, a delivery van behind the bus also stopped behind Smith and waited for him to proceed over the railroad tracks.
