VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP Jul 15, 2o13) – Five people suffered minor injuries when a passenger bus went off the road in southeastern North Dakota, at about 5-a.m., Monday.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol report said the driver of the Jefferson Lines bus, 46 year old Stephen Arthur of Duluth, Minnesota was operating a motor coach bus as a commercial motor vehicle hauling 14 passengers that were en route to Minneapolis.

The bus had stopped in Bismarck, without any mechanical issues and proceeded to Valley City, which was their next scheduled stop.

Arthur stated that as he began to take the east bound off ramp at exit 292 in Valley City he tried slowing the bus with the foot brake but it had little or no effect.

The driver attempted to steer right onto a paved county road, however, the bus continued into the east ditch, impacted the embankment, and came to rest about 150 yards in a field southeast of the interchange without overturning.

Of the 14 passengers on the bus, 5 of them were transported to Mercy Hospital in Valley City by Barnes County Ambulance.

The Valley City Fire/Rescue and Valley City Police Department assisted with the collision, along with Barnes County Ambulance Service. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Company spokesman Kevin Pursey tells The Associated Press that the bus was recently inspected and it’s doubtful the brakes failed. He says the driver might have taken a corner too fast.

About two months ago, passengers on a Jefferson Lines bus escaped uninjured when the bus’s engine caught fire near Williston.

NASCAR…

LOUDON, N.H. (AP Jul 14, 2013) — Brian Vickers pulled into the lead late and took off on the green-white-checkered finish to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The surprise winner snapped a 75-race losing streak in the series with his third career Sprint Cup victory. Vickers drives a part-time schedule for Michael Waltrip Racing and competed in just his eighth race of the season.

Vickers made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in 2009, only to be sidelined most of the next season with blood clots. He returned to drive a full schedule in 2011 but made only eight Cup starts last season.

Kyle Busch was second and Jeff Burton third. Pole winner Brad Keselowski was fourth and Aric Almirola fifth.

Jimmie Johnson brushed off his 43rd-place start to finish sixth. Tony Stewart was running inside the top 10 at the final caution until he ran out of fuel and plummeted to 26th.

Morgan Shepherd has become the oldest driver to start a race in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series.

     The 52-year-old Kentuckian started the final round two shots behind leader Michael Allen, but was in front to stay after he birdied the second and third holes and Allen bogeyed the third.
 
     Perry won the Senior Players Championship two weeks ago.
