FRONT ROYAL – A Linden man, Donald G. Muterspaugh, has been charged with reckless driving after failing to stop at a stop sign and striking a Warren County school bus Monday morning as it traveled along Royal Avenue.

Front Royal Police Department spokesperson Captain Crystal Cline said Muterspaugh, of 200 Freezeland Manor Rd., Linden, was traveling west on 2nd St. around 10:43 a.m. and did not stop at the stop sign at its intersection with Royal Avenue. The front end of Muterspaugh’s 2017 Subaru struck the rear driver’s side of the 2002 school bus, just forward of the wheelbase.

25 students were on the bus. Cline said 10 children were transported to the Emergency Department of Warren Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sherry Pugh, of Linden, was the driver of the school bus; she was not injured. Muterspaugh refused to be examined by Warren County Fire and Rescue EMTs.
