Few people think about the amount of trust that’s placed in busing companies that bring loads of children to and from school every day. The fact is that school buses face the same risks as any other vehicle, and when something goes wrong it can lead to devastation. While a crash involving a school bus on the way to Hialeah High School today did not lead to any injuries to passengers on the bus, it did lead to the death of the driver of the vehicle who slammed into it.
According to WSVN:
“Police are investigating a fatal accident involving a driver who crashed into the back of a school bus early Wednesday morning.
The driver slammed into the rear of a school bus along Northwest 174th Street and 37th Avenue around 5 a.m. The impact smashed the car’s front windshield and wedged the vehicle under the bus, pinning the driver.
A Good Samaritan, who was one of the first witnesses on the scene, notified police. He said the victim died shortly after the crash. “I saw there was a lot of bleeding on his right side and I grabbed the first thing somebody passed me, which was a pair of shorts,” said Edward Young. “I placed it on the part of his ribs to keep pressure on his ribs so he wouldn’t bleed out so much. Then I saw him go into shock, and that’s when I realized he was going to die.”
The deceased driver is a man in his mid to late 20s.”
