School bus driver charged with OUI after crash

A school bus driver faces charges of driving under the influence after the bus she was driving crashed into a van in Manchester, police said. Melissa Forrest, 36, failed a field sobriety test at the scene of Tuesday afternoon’s accident on Main Street, police said. Forrest indicated she had not been drinking, but may have been affected by medication she had been taking, police said. The school bus was carrying five students from Bolton home from a vocational agriculture program at Rockville High School in Vernon when it struck the rear of a wheelchair accessible van that was stopped at a red light, authorities said. No one was injured.
