Charlotte School Bus Accident Injures Students, Passengers in Car
Posted on May 12, 2010
For students in a northeast Charlotte school bus the ride to school was interrupted by a serious accident. According to police, their school bus, on its way to Cochrane Middle School, was involved in an accident at North Sharon Amity Road near Milton Road.
A spokeswoman for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools said that the bus, number 1384, was carrying 46 students to school when it collided with the car in front of it. Though police say that none of the injuries were serious seven people were taken to Presbyterian Hospital. Five of the injured were children from the school bus and two were from the other vehicle. The other vehicle contained a small child and her mother.
An officer at the scene of the accident said that the bus appeared to have rear ended the car at a stop light.
Recent accidents involving busses have prompted government and school officials to consider enacting a mandatory seat belt law on all busses. Proponents of the proposals believe that seat belts would help prevent injuries and deaths while those opposed to such laws point to the rarity of serious injury during a school bus accident.
The staff and attorneys at Tavss Fletcher hope that all injured parties make full and quick recoveries from their injuries.
