BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A woman rear-ended two school buses with her car within about a half-hour on the same street, police said.
No children were injured, but the driver of the car, Amy Osborne, 31, was taken to Bloomington Hospital after she had to be cut out of her car following the second crash Monday, police said. She was not seriously injured, police said, and there was no record of the Bloomington woman at the hospital Tuesday.
"They put her on a backboard and a neck thing. She was crying a lot," said Chuck Brown, who heard the second crash from his home.
No charges have been filed, and the crashes were still being investigated, said Bloomington Police Sgt. Steven Kellams.
In the first crash just before 8 a.m., 11 children were on a bus headed to Summit Elementary School. The bus was turning right when Osborne's vehicle struck it from behind, said Mike Clark, director of transportation for the Monroe County Community School Corporation.
"Everybody was fine," he said.
Emergency workers checked out Osborne and the bus passengers, and they continued on their way, he said.
The second accident was just before 8:30 a.m. as a different bus with no children aboard was waiting to turn left.
No listing was available for Amy Osborne in the Bloomington telephone directory.
Yeah, but, was she able to finish her cell phone conversation?
I just hate it when big yellow school buses jump out in front of me like that. /s
When I saw the Osborne name, I thought it was one of Ozzy's offspring. :)

I can imagine the call to her insurance agent.
I was walking out a store once with this girl. Yea she was watching where she was going but apparently was concentrating more on talking then walking. I turned slightly to go around, but the girl just kept talking.
BAM!!! Right into a big fraking firetruck that was parked in front of the store doors.
"Duh big red truck" was the next thing she said.
Yea she was blonde.
I can't keep track of all these new alternative lifestyles.
Put the cellphone down, lady.
"You're invisible!"
SPLAT!
Well, after stopping to fill out the accident report and everything from the first bus accident, she was running late...
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Seriously, if there ever was a reason to suspend someone's driver's license...
Amy Osborne... Fighting Global Warming, one school bus at a time!
Oh, well that explains it. ;^)
I'll bet it's something medical. OK, so I watch House too much.
Yellow means "Speed up!"
They didn't take her cell phone away after the first one?
As the old saying goes... "Hit or be Hit!"
Wait...
That was my football coach, sorry.
Did Burt Bacharat show up to sing, "I got hit, in the rear..." for the insurance adjuster?
