A deadly crash knocked power lines down onto a school bus in Ohio, trapping students inside until help arrived, police told news outlets.
Blue Ash police responded to the scene of the wreck around 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 25, TV station WCPO reported.
A northbound Jeep veered off the road and crashed into a utility pole, police told WLWT. The 44-year-old driver died, and power lines fell across a nearby Sycamore Community Schools bus.

A section of the road was closed down and workers arrived at the scene to repair the damage, police said.
An investigation into the crash is underway.
