Student injured in school bus crash

School bus drivers have an important responsibility. They are trusted to take Oklahoma’s children to and from school safely, and so they must undergo background checks and driving tests. Unfortunately, school buses must share the road with other people who are not so careful, and so school buses can be involved in an accident with a negligent driver.

One recent accident in Sand Springs involved a school bus and a pickup truck driver. According to reports, the bus was transporting approximately 50 children home from Limestone Elementary School. A trailer that had been hitched to the pickup truck came loose and was then hit by the school bus. Police said the pickup driver fled the scene.

According to reports, a number of children were thrown forward due to the collision. One child suffered a neck injury.
