Multiple Incidents Involving School Buses Raise Safety Concerns

A series of school bus incidents have raised concerns about student safety. In Northeast D.C., a school bus collided with a sedan, prompting police to close off two right lanes but fortunately resulting in no significant injuries. In Waupaca, Wisconsin, a pickup truck crashed into a school bus as children were disembarking, with one 5-year-old girl being thrown to the ground but sustaining only minor injuries. The impact was caught on security cameras, and the truck driver cited the sun as a factor in the accident. Meanwhile, a bus driver in Washington state was struck in the chest by a flying metal object while transporting a basketball team, but he managed to maintain control and ensure the safety of the students. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges related to school transportation safety.
