1. Newspaper: Public Opinion: Car-bus crash kills woman, 9 Nov 1995, Chambersburg, Franklin, PA. 10 -----
Car-bus crash kills woman
-----
Victim's children seriously injured; bus was not carrying schoolchildren
-----
A Fayetteville woman was killed and four people were injured when her car collided head-on with a school bus Wednesday afternoon in Guilford Township. Judy Lynn Beecher, 39, of 7263 Lincoln Way East, was pronounced dead at the scene by Franklin County Coroner Kenneth Peiffer Jr.
Beecher was driving a 1980 Ford Mustang east on Falling Spring Road at 4:05 p.m. when she failed to make a turn half a mile west of Garman Drive.
The car collided with a 1993 International bus driven by Ann Elizabeth Friese, 36, Chambersburg, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg.
The bus was not carrying any passengers.
Beecher's children, Stacey L. Beecher, 18, and Randy E. Beecher Jr., 16, of the same address, were in her car. They were freed by rescue workers.
They were taken to Chambersburg Hospital, and later flown to York Hospital. A third passenger, month-old Skylar Beecher, was treated at Chambersburg Hospital and released.
Friese, the bus driver, also was treated at the hospital and released.
Funeral arrangements by Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home Inc. are incomplete.
Chambersburg Area School District Superintendent Edwin Sponseller said this morning that the district is not investigating Friese -- it relies on police to investigate an accident when a school bus driver is involved.
"In a situation like this, they have the controlling authority," Dr. Sponseller said.
The only other recent fatality involving a school bus in Franklin County was Sept. 24, 1991, when a pupil was killed in the same area as Wednesday's accident. That bus driver was cleared of any wrongdoing.
