A La Grange ISD school bus nearly got stuck in a ditch Tuesday morning while picking up students. It happened near the intersection of SH 159 and SH 237 northeast of Rutersville. Superintendent Andy McHazlett said the bus driver slightly missed a driveway resulting in wheels sliding into a ditch. The driver immediately called the district’s transportation office to report the bus was stuck. The school dispatched a pickup to pull out the bus. Before the pickup even left campus, McHazlett said, the bus driver was able to get the bus out of the ditch.
