Howard County school bus veers off course to Carroll County, prompting student alert to police.

A school bus carrying 16 students from Glenwood Middle School strayed off its route, ending up near Westminster, approximately 21 miles away. Authorities were alerted about 40 minutes after the scheduled dismissal when students realized something was wrong. Maryland State Police located the bus on Route 97 around 3:30 p.m. A 68-year-old female driver may have experienced a medical emergency, leading to disorientation. Fortunately, none of the students were injured, and the driver was taken to the hospital.
