looking at what's going on around the entire state of
West Virginia. Let's begin. A Monday morning bus accident in
Marion County involving another car and a school bus had
no injuries reported. Five students were on the bus around
six thirty am Monday morning when the accident occurred. The
Marion County Superintendental WDTV locally that the training of the
(00:42):
bus operator and quick responses by first responders and law
enforcement made a significant difference in limiting any potential damage.
Crews were able to rescue one person after an ATV
crashed over a one hundred foot embankment in Marion County
on Sunday. They were able to rescue the victim using
a rope in a thick wooded air that was difficult
to traverse. Fortunately, reports indicate his injuries were actually relatively minor,
(01:05):
not life threatening. First responders ultimately transported him to an
undisclosed hospital early Sunday morning. His condition is not clear.
A Maryland van is expected to serve forty years in
prison in connection to a twenty twenty four Montinglia County
shooting that left one man dead. Twenty year old Arnold Johnson,
the third of Montgomery Village, Maryland, turned himself into police
connected to the shooting death of twenty one year old
(01:27):

charged with malicious assault. It's not clear the extent of
the injuries. To the victim at this time. Effective the

employees are going to transition to working directly for WVU.
The university says the transition is purely structural and that
(02:08):
no positions are being eliminated. About five hundred workers are
expected to be part of the transition. Earlier this year,
billions in federal research grants were canceled, likely prompting expense
cuts at R one universities like WVU across the nation.

though in detail at wv metronews dot com. The maximum
estimated budget for the Hope Scholarship for the twenty twenty

six to twenty twenty seven school year in West Virginia

estimate reportedly could change again. Hope scholars fall under School Choice,
allowing four K through twelve financial assistance for families wishing
to change how they spend on education and what kind
of education their child gets. The Bridgeport Police Department is

is interested in acquiring an armored vehicle at a cost
of nearly four hundred thousand dollars that was on the
agenda four Monday Nights meeting. The Department of Homeland Security

portion of the cost for this vehicle, approximately two hundred
thousand of three hundred and eighty five thousand. It's confirmed
that West Virginia actually did have two lottery winners over
the weekend, though nobody won the power ball in the state.

winner we're both sold in West Virginia. One ticket in Hedgesville,
(03:34):
another in Somerville. Bridgeport Water is continuing to flush fire
hydrants throughout the city into the fall. Twenty one streets
