Kids are unhurt in NM bus accident
This was sent tonight by North Mason Superintendent David Peterson:
Bus B-13 was rear-ended downtown Belfair today as the driver was taking elementary students home at the end of the day. There were no injuries to any of the 17 kids on the bus. We brought in another bus to complete the run and get the kids home. The driver of the other vehicle had no apparent serious injury, but was transported to the hospital to be checked out.
Bus accidents are pretty rare for us. We have one or two per year, and they are typically minor. In nearly every case, someone runs into one of our buses. Each and every time, our staff respond extremely well, just like this time. Our driver took great care of the kids. Our mechanic and transportation director got to the scene as soon as they could. Staff called the parents of the students on the bus to let them know about the accident and the delayed trip home. We brought another bus to the scene to safely transfer the students and get them home with the shortest possible delay.
Good work, drivers and staff. Thank you.
David Peterson, Superintendent
