Bus driver hit by metal bar while going 60 mph on highway

A Northshore School District bus driver has returned to his job less than a week after being struck by a piece of metal that flew through the windshield of his bus on a highway in Bellevue.

The metal bar hit Stewart O'Leary in the chest while he was taking a group of high school girl basketball players from North Creek High School to a game on Friday afternoon.

Video of the incident released by the school district shows the metal bar flying through the windshield and striking O'Leary in the chest. Two coaches who were on the bus ran to the front and assisted O'Leary in slowing the bus to the shoulder without hitting any cars and then calling 911.
