Early on a chilly Thursday morning in Antioch, a routine trip to school was disrupted by a multi-vehicle crash involving a Metro Nashville Public Schools bus. The collision, which occurred near the intersection of Rural Hill Road and Hickory Highlands Drive just before the clock struck 8 a.m., left three elementary students en route to Lakeview Elementary School needing hospital attention.
