An investigation is underway into what caused a Kent school bus driver to strike a colleague while she was walking in a crosswalk.

Lynne Hagen, a 25-year veteran bus driver, was halfway through a cross walk when she was hit by a school bus Monday.

“It doesn’t matter how safe we’ve been in the past – this morning we weren’t,” Kent School District Spokesman Chris Loftis told KING 5 after the accident.

Loftis said Hagen was taken to Harborview with serious injuries.

Alcohol or drugs are not believed to be involved, but the investigation continues Tuesday morning.

KIRO Radio’s Frank Shier’s contributed to this report.
