Cardinal Gibbons students injured in collision

Raleigh, N.C. — Three Cardinal Gibbons High School students were among those injured late Friday morning in a collision involving a bread truck.

The crash happened about 11:40 a.m.at the intersection of Chapel Hill and Trinity roads near the school.

Cardinal Gibbons Principal Jason Curtis said the students were on their way back to the nearby Raleigh campus from lunch when the wreck, involving two vehicles and a Nature's Own bread truck, occurred.

Curtis said one of the student's conditions is critical, and two others are in the intensive care unit.

Cary police said five people were involved in the wreck, They had not released any other details about those involved or what might have happened as of Friday evening.

But the wreck has shaken the Cardinal Gibbons community. Friday was the second day of the new school year.

"Obviously, we're all very, very concerned. We're a really strong community," Curtis said. "As a Catholic school, this is an opportunity for us to pray together, to be concerned together and also take care of each other."

Can all people in Wake County slow the heck down, pay attention to their driving and stop hitting people and bicyclists? This is becomming one of the most dangerous places to drive. Slow down and pay attention. This place is nuts. Nearly every day a road in Wake County is closed due to a bad accident! Cannot wait to leave this state.

You are right localyokel -- I didn't catch that it was the driver side that was hit and it probably was hit by someone running the light. Hope all recover.
