According to the report, Antey passed the stopped school bus on the right and struck an eastbound 2010 Chrysler Town & Country driven by 84-year-old Edward Boudreau, who was turning left onto SR 161 in front of the stopped bus. No citations were issued, but Antey received a verbal warning for passing on the right and failure to yield right-of-way.
