A school bus driver in Ventura county CA was arrested for driving under the influence while on the job with 31 students in the bus. The 53-year-old female bus driver was trying to make a U-turn on an Ojai street when she was involved in a traffic accident striking another vehicle.

The bus driver took a breath test and was booked for driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. California law prohibits commercial drivers, including bus drivers, from driving with blood alcohol levels of 0.04 percent or greater, although the legal limit for non-commercial drivers is 0.08 percent. She has been charged with misdemeanor DUI and child endangerment.
