PARIS — No one was injured when a school bus slid off Route 117 on Streaked Mountain on Wednesday afternoon after heavy snow began to pelt the area.

Superintendent Rick Colpitts said the minibus was carrying about seven students from Oxford Hills Technical High School in Paris to Buckfield High School when the accident happened shortly after 2 p.m.

The Buckfield High school students on board attend classes at the technical school, part of the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School.

Colpitts said the students were bused back to Buckfield High School at about 1:45 p.m. to meet buses there to take them home and the accident delayed them by about 45 minutes.

Fire Chief Brad Frost said when he arrived at the scene, all the students were off the bus and appeared to be fine. The bus was on all four wheels but in a ditch.

A tow truck was sent to the scene to remove the bus. Damage to the bus was unknown.
