HENDERSON, KY (WFIE) - Officials at Henderson's Methodist Hospital say one patient admitted after yesterday's school bus crash has been transferred to another facility for treatment of undisclosed injuries. 

One other patient was kept overnight for observation but was scheduled to go home today.

13 students and the bus driver suffered injuries when the bus flipped on its side around 7 AM Wednesday.  School officials say the driver was distracted by a student showing her cigarette butts found in the back of the bus.

The oldest student on the bus, Cody Book, helped free the driver and assisted the students, some of them of elementary age, with getting out through an emergency exit in the roof.
