	A pickup truck and Middletown City School bus were involved in a head-on collision this morning on Manchester Rd, just west of the I-75 overpass. We are unsure at point if any children were on the bus and if there are any injuries, but in a photo taken by Randy Lewis a second Middletown City School bus can be seen in the background.
