Wake school bus in fender-bender; no children hurt


e-mail print friendly

A Wake County school bus was involved in a minor accident Monday morning near Southwest Maynard Road and West Chatham Street, police reported. None of the children on the bus was hurt, they said.

Police said a Honda rear-ended the bus, which was headed to Weatherstone Elementary School with 44 pupils aboard. An assistant principal who came to the scene also said all the children were fine, and the bus could continue to school.

Police said the car driver was surprised when the bus stopped before crossing railroad tracks on Southwest Maynard, where there was no train. State law requires school bus drivers to stop at all railroad crossings every time they come to one.

Why is there no info whatsoever in this article, about whether the driver of the car was hurt? I guess that just doesn't matter, as long as no children were hurt?

yearroundmom...people like you are the ones that cause many parents to not get what they want. You take a completely separate issue like this accident and squeeze your soapbox into it. Then you go and talk to the Board about things and they don't want to listen because of posts like your's. The two things are in NO WAY related. Quit making posts like your's so parents who have real issues with real suggestions can be heard and not grouped with people like you.

Wonder if a phone was involved.

News and Observer had an article yesterday that said people talking on the phone are 4 time more likely to have a wreck than those not on the phone, effectively equating it to drunk driving. And it didn't matter whether or not you were holding the phone of had a hands-free one. Just a matter of time before talking on the phone carries the same penalty as DUI.

She should get off of her cell phone and drive the car.

Less busses on the road would mean less accidents.
