A school bus collided with a bridge, killing the bus driver, a
student and injuring others, while making its morning rounds Monday morning. The
bus crashed at approximately 7:45 a.m. on the way to Indianapolis Lighthouse
Charter School. Two male students were critically injured, and one five or six
year old was killed. The two male students that were critically injured and
eight others were taken to Indianapolis hospitals. One of the injured children
was rescued from under the bus’s front wheel, and fire department crews rescued
four people from the bus in 45 minutes. The students that were not injured were
taken to school which was only two miles away from the accident. One lucky
student missed the bus and had to have his grandfather take him to school. On
the way, he saw the accident scene. He said the bus driver was a good driver
and cared about the safety of the children. There is still no apparent reason
why the bus hit the bridge, except that the pavement may have been wet. Beth
Bray, a worker at the Indianapolis mayor’s office, said, “We’re trying to help
parents and get everybody coordinated.” The school released the students early
Monday.
