Negaunee school bus slides on roadway

NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, MI--   A school bus had to be pulled from a ditch in Negaunee Township after it slid on a hill Wednesday. 

The bus was westbound on North Road near Maple Ridge Road around 7:20 a.m. when it lost traction on icy pavement.  It slid back down the hill and came to a stop perpendicular to the roadway. 

Neither the driver nor seven student passengers were injured. 

The bus was safely pulled out of the ditch by a wrecker and the road was sanded by the Marquette County Road Commission.

Officials say traffic was rerouted from the area for an hour and a half.
