TRAVERSE CITY -- Slippery Roads are being blamed for a school bus crash Friday morning.

It happened around 8:30 a.m. on Cedar Run Road near Harris, just outside Traverse City.

The Michigan State Police tells 7 & 4 News that there were no students on the bus at the time and that the bus driver was not hurt.

The accident remains under investigation but the police say the driver did not receive a ticket.
