Scary Moments as Missing School Bus with Children Aboard Found after Minor Crash in NJ
In a frightening incident in New Jersey, a school bus carrying students failed to show up at an elementary school, causing concern among parents and school officials.
It was later discovered that the bus had experienced a minor crash after the driver suffered a medical episode.
The incident unfolded when the school bus driver became disoriented due to a medical issue, leading to the bus crashing.
Worried about the delayed arrival of the bus, school authorities reached out to township officials and initiated a search.
Eventually, the bus was located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, the next town over from the school.
According to reports, the bus driver had experienced a medical incident, resulting in disorientation.
Consequently, the driver left the road and parked the bus in a parking lot in Bridgewater.
Unfortunately, while maneuvering into the parking lot, the bus was involved in a minor collision with a parked vehicle.
Emergency services, including police officials, EMS personnel, and school district officials, swiftly responded to the scene.
The school nurse was present to assess the well-being of the students.
Fortunately, no students were injured in the incident.
They were transferred to a different bus, which safely transported them back to the school.
Parents and guardians of the students who were aboard the bus were relieved to reunite with their children at the school.
They were given the opportunity to speak with their children and ensure their well-being.
The school expressed gratitude towards the officials and individuals who promptly responded to the incident in Bridgewater, prioritizing the safety of the children during their return to Warren Township.
Upon arriving at the school later in the morning, police officers remained present to facilitate the parents’ meeting with their children, ensuring their safety.
Some of the students were allowed to go home while others continued their day at school.
To provide support, counselors were made available at the school to speak with any students who desired comfort and guidance following the distressing incident.
As of now, there is no update on the medical condition of the bus driver who experienced disorientation.
Hopefully, further information about their well-being will be provided later.
