3 STUDENTS INJURED IN LEE BUS WRECK

Three students were hospitalized Wednesday after their Lee County school bus ran off a rain-slick road and ended up on its side against a guardrail, authorities said.

School Superintendent Jerry Bishop said a 12-year-old boy with a broken nose and possible fractured cheekbone and a 15-year-old girl with a compound fracture of the leg were transferred from Lee County Community Hospital to Holston Valley Hospital and Medical Center in Kingsport, Tenn. A 15-year-old girl was admitted to the Lee County hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises, Bishop said.

The accident occurred on Virginia 421 at 7:40 a.m. - Associated Press
