Dillon Lane of Kennewick, right, talks with Kennewick police after colliding with a school bus in his 2001 Hyundai Elantra on Columbia Center Boulevard at 4th Avenue in Kennewick. Around 40 kids were on board from Desert Hills Middle School and Kamiakin High School. No one was hurt, "just sore from the seatbelt kicking my ass," said Lane. Kennewick police Sgt. Ken Lattin said the bus driver was at fault since she was turning left, and she would be cited for failure to yield. Another school bus came to pick up kids who hadn't already called their parents and the this bus was able to drive away. "School buses are built to take a hit like this," said Ethan Schwebke, transportation manager for Kennewick School District. "The only thing they lose against is a semi or a train."
