An Arizona man died an two-vehicle accident Thursday afternoon when the SUV he was driving collided head-on with a Livingston County school bus on U.S. 60 just east of the Cumberland River Bridge near Smithland.
Trevor Wayne Hammond, 22, of Camp Verde, Ariz., was traveling east on at about 2:30 when his vehicle crossed into the westbound lane, striking the school bus. The driver of the bus, Denise Kazumba, 40, of Salem tried to stop but couldn't avoid a collision. The Livingston coroner pronounced Hammond dead at the scene.
A passenger, in Hammond's vehicle, Heather Jo Travis, 21, was transported to Western Baptist Hospital by ambulance and was later taken by PHI air ambulance to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. Another passenger in the SUV, Colton Lawless, 1, of Smithland, was transported to Livingston Hospital with minor injuries.
Neither the school bus driver nor her two passengers, ages 12 and 9, were injured.
