VERGENNES — Vergennes police on the morning of April 3 called the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad to help an ailing school bus driver after stopping the vehicle on New Haven Road.
Police pulled over the bus, which they said was bound for Vergennes Union High School, after receiving a report that it was being operated erratically on Route 7. That report apparently originally came from one or more motorists on the state highway, they said.
Police quickly learned the driver was not feeling well, and VARS took him to Fletcher Allen Health Care. They said another bus was dispatched to pick up the students. Police did not know on Tuesday the status of the driver’s health.
