Mont Alto School Bus Accident Injures Three Elementary Students
A Chambersburg Area School District bus was rear-ended by a power company’s utility truck on Mont Alto Road. According to a recent news report in The Record Herald, Jeffery Lynn Kriner, 46, of Chambersburg was driving an Allegheny Power bucket truck northbound on Mont Alto Road when he struck the parked school bus.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the truck versus bus collision happened as the school bus had stopped to pick up two students when Kriner crashed into the rear of the bus. Three Fayetteville Elementary students who had suffered minor injuries were treated at area hospitals. Kriner was taken to York Hospital for treatment and has been released since. The bus driver and other children in the bus were not injured in the accident. Kriner has been cited for traffic violations including failure to drive a vehicle at a safe speed, careless driving and meeting or overtaking a school bus, the report said.
Based on this account, Kriner can be held liable for causing the accident and the injuries to the three children. If it is determined he was on-the-job at the time of the crash then his employer may be held responsible as well.
