One Person Hospitalized in Campus Shuttle Bus Accident

Of the 20 people on the UC Davis shuttle bus that overturned on Thursday who were evaluated at Sacramento hospitals, only one was admitted. Late Friday afternoon, that passenger remained a patient at UC Davis Medical Center and was listed in good condition.

The bus, which was carrying passengers from the Davis campus to the Medical Center Sacramento campus, hit a guardrail on U.S. Highway 50 in West Sacramento and rolled on its side at 8:44 a.m. yesterday (Nov. 30).

No major injuries were reported. Of the 26 people on board, 19 -- including the driver -- were treated and released; six did not need medical care; and one, as noted, was hospitalized.
