The Edmond Police Department reported Dillion Hart, 17, of Edmond was traveling in a Chevy Trailblazer westbound on Danforth when he turned into the path of an eastbound 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette. The Trailblazer and the Oldsmobile collided at the intersection and both vehicles were sent careening over the center divider, and into a 2009 Honda Accord and a school bus.
