(BLOOMFIELD) - Two people have been airlifted to hospitals following a car-school bus accident around 4 p.m. today on State Road 157.
The accident occurred just west of the Calvertsville curve on State Road 157, north of Bloomfield and east of Worthington. The Bloomfield bus -- No. 1 -- had just dropped off a student, according to an official at the scene.

The two people airlifted for medical aid were both travelling in the car - a male driver and female passenger.
