Bus driver on leave after accident hospitalizes 3 students Our gran daughter's greatest concern when her mother arrived at the hospital was: "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong." Our daughter assured her daughter that her parents only concern was for her well being. Our granddaughter was sent home later with a couple of stitches, some pain killer, and instructions to her parents to watch for post concussion behaviors. Whew! |

It's lucky there aren't more school bus accidents. It has to be the ultimate in driver distraction. Although it probably isn't economically feasable, IMO it would be better to have a bus orderly keeping track of the kids so the bus driver could concentrate 100% on the driving.

While reading this, thoughts of my own grandaughter flashed through my mind. You just never know when something like this will occur. I'm happy to hear the girl was not more seriously injured. |

Colo, we're all hoping that your granddaughter has no ill affects from her experience and get back to enjoying her youth. In January we had a 15 yr old girl killed and a friend sent to the hospital when a 19 year old failed to stop for the buses flashing lights. The trial is going on right now. A rumor was that there is evidence that he was talking on his cell phone at the time. And these teen agers now are even trying to text while driving. They just can seem to go 15 minutes without using that cell phone that their parents gave them for safety purposes. |
