Jenks Public Schools released video from inside a school bus where the driver fell asleep and veered off the side of the Cherokee Turnpike, then back onto the highway, injuring five kids.
It happened Wednesday near Locust Grove as a group of sixth graders were returning from a trip to New Life Ranch.
Video shows the driver going 66 miles per hour when he went off the highway, then overcorrecting back across both lanes of traffic.
Footage from the front of the bus also shows the driver going off the right side of the turnpike at 66 miles per hour, then crossing both lanes of the road at highway speeds.
All of the kids' injuries are considered minor.
Jenks says the driver was ticketed for inattentive driving. He was also fired.
