A Clifton Park woman was ticketed yesterday after she hit a Guilderland school bus.

Tara Cerrato, 29, was issued several traffic tickets and transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital, according to a press release from the Guilderland Police Department.

Cerrato was driving a 1999 Dodge Durango, heading southeast on Route 156, the Berne-Altamont Road, when she crossed over the double yellow lines on a curve and struck the bus at about 3:22 p.m., the release says.

Debra A. Marks, 52, of Altamont, was driving the school district vehicle, heading northwest. Marks and Valerie Roundy-Collins, 52, a passenger on the school bus, were both taken to St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. All injuries were apparently minor, the release says.

Also, a juvenile bus passenger was evaluated by Guilderland Emergency Medical Services workers on the scene and released to a parent with no apparent injury, the release says.
