Related: About this forumFlorida semi driver with naked female passenger rear-ends school bus
According to Sheriff Gordon Smith, the woman in the semi was not wearing any clothes. She was given a towel from troopers to cover up in front of the children.
Witnesses said the semi was going about 60 mph when it struck the bus, which investigators said had its crossing arms out and lights flashing.
The crash happened on U.S. 301 near North West 183rd Street, just south of Lawtey, at about 2:45 p.m. As the school bus was slowing to a stop, it was rear-ended by the big rig, which is owned and operated by Mo's Trucking out of Palatka.
The Sheriff's Office said the bus driver saw the semi coming in the rear-view mirror and sped up, which may have minimized the impact.

The truck driver was beyond distracted, if he wasn't aware of that.
