A Nora Springs man is dead after rear-ending a school bus in Floyd County Wednesday afternoon. The Floyd County Sheriff’s Department says a bus from the Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock school district was stopped about three miles north of Rockford when it was hit by a pickup driven by 83-year-old Robert Kruger of Nora Springs.
Kruger was removed from his pickup by the Jaws of Life and taken to Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City, where he later died. The sheriff’s department says the bus driver and the 14 students on the bus were not injured.
