A teenage driver is dead after a crash on Highway 266 involving a Willard school bus.
The Highway Patrol says an S-U-V pulled from a parking lot and struck the school bus forcing it across the center line.
The school bus struck a pickup head-on before hitting a utility pole.
The 17-year-old girl driving the pickup died at the scene.
The Willard School District said there were no students on the bus at the time.
The driver of the S-U-V and bus driver were taken to Springfield hospital with injuries.
