After failing to yield the right of way, Julie Loving, a 44 year old Montpelier woman, was struck by another car at the intersection of Route 20 and Zoar Road in Eastern Orange County. Loving was turning from Zoar Road onto Route 20 southbound, driving a 1996 two door Mitsubishi and was struck in the drivers’ side by a 2005 Honda Accord traveling south on Route 20.
Both cars spun out of control and careened into an Orange County school bus heading north on Route 20. The school bus was carrying two students, a five year old boy and a nine year old boy.
The 38 year old bus driver and the five year old passenger were treated at Culpeper Regional Hospital with minor injuries, while the nine year old passenger was released to his parents at the scene of the accident. The 42 year old driver of the Accord and her three teenage passengers were taken to Culpeper Regional Hospital with minor injuries.
Loving was not wearing a seat belt, and died while on route to Mary Washington Hospital. Her 15 year old and five year old daughters were both wearing restraints, and were treated for serious injuries at Mary Washington Hospital. Virginia State Police reported that Route 20 was closed for two hours while fire and rescue worked the scene.
