School bus crash in Cape Coral. Credit: WINK Some Cape Coral students were delayed going to school after their bus crashed with a Jeep during Monday’s foggy morning commute. Multiple units from the Cape Coral Police Department responded to the crash, located at the intersection of Chiquita Boulevard and Kismet Parkway, at approximately 6:40 a.m. Bus number 1320 was involved in the crash. Six children were on board the bus. No injuries were reported. Police were seen talking to the bus driver and another driver, who was in the Jeep. Preliminary information from Lee County School District states that the Jeep’s driver ran a stop sign hitting the bus at the intersection. FDOT guidelines were followed after the incident, requiring drug testing after a driver is ticketed and a vehicle is towed. The crash details are currently being investigated, but there was a dense fog advisory for the area until 10 a.m. The children were seen being transferred to another bus, which has since departed the scene. A tow truck first arrived to the scene and towed away the Jeep, and then a larger wrecker arrived to take the bus by 8:30 a.m., completely clearing the scene.
