Wednesday morning, a Lafayette Parish School bus ended up sliding into a ditch near a high school.

According to Tracy Wirtz, Director of Communications for the Lafayette Parish School System, the bus had one student on board at the time the bus ended up in the ditch.

The ditch was in front of Comeaux High School. Wirtz says the student was not injured when the situation unfolded.

The Lafayette Parish School System bus ended up going into a ditch near the intersection of West Bluebird Drive and West Digby Drive.
