A driver is facing a DUI charge after he drove head-on into a Habersham County school bus Thursday afternoon on Mud Creek Road.
No students were on board the bus at the time of the incident, which was reported at about 2:25 p.m.
The Georgia State Patrol said in a press release Joshua Ryals, 46, of Demorest, was driving a BMW X3 southbound on Mud Creek Road when it crossed the center line and struck the school bus head-on.
The bus driver and the monitor were not injured. Ryals suffered a "possible minor injury," according to GSP, but was not transported to the hospital.
Ryals was charged with driving under the influence and failure to maintain lane.
The wreck shut down a portion of Mud Creek Road for about an hour.
