According to the state highway patrol, Billy Goble, 38, Weatherby, was driving a 2006 International School bus southbound on Old Havana Trail. He was traveling too fast for conditions and failed to negotiate a curve to the west. The bus traveled off the south side of the roadway through a fence and came to rest on its wheels in a field, facing south.
