BALLWIN, MO — Ballwin police say a car recklessly passed a stopped school bus around 8:30 this morning in the 800 block of Bitterfield Drive. That's about half a mile from Henry Elementary School, where the bus was headed. Video posted by Parkway Schools to Twitter shows a gray or silver sedan careening around the bus and other stopped cars, driving across sidewalks and lawns in the process.
