Students Taken to Hospital after 2 PA School Buses Collide
On June 8, at least 40 students were taken to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia after an accident involving two school buses on their way to Pepper Middle School. According to this article in The Philadelphia Inquirer many of children had minor injuries.
Two adults also sustained minor injuries in the accident, in which one bus rear-ended the other on the 2700 block of Island Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. About 45 students received medical attention.
The article reported that there were several windows shattered in one of the buses, sending glass onto the floor and seats, and all the children fell on the floor after being thrown into the backs of the seats in front of them. The bus had no seat belts.
