Date/Time: February 17th, 2026 / 7:36 a.m.  
Case #: S2026-00247  
Classification: Traffic crash Log Truck & School Bus  
Location: Green Acres  
  
On February 17th, 2026, at 7:36 a.m. Deputy M.R. Smith responded to a report of a traffic crash in Green Acres involving a School Bus and a Log Truck.  
   
The Coos Bay school district school bus occupied by children had been driving westbound on Green Acres Lane near Upper Loop, and had just stopped to clear the Railroad tracks. At that moment, a log truck came around the corner, driving eastbound (Towards the School Bus) and slowed down.  
   
A second log truck noticed the log truck in front of him was slowing, so he hit his brakes, and he slid towards the log truck in front of him. Avoiding that collision, the log truck continued to slide into the oncoming lane, where the school bus was located in its westbound lane of travel. As a result, the front right corner of the log truck hit the front right corner of the school bus.  
   
No injuries were reported, and the damage was very minimal. The Trucking Company pulled their truck out of the ditch, and the Coos Bay School District recovered their school bus after transferring the children to another bus.  
   
Please be cognizant of school buses, which make frequent stops and clear specific intersections, such as railway crossings, prior to continuing to ensure the safety of their precious passengers.
