Location: Route 9 and Hamburg Road, New Castle, Delaware
Date of Occurrence: Friday, August 21, 2009, at 7:10 a.m.
Resume: State Troopers and emergency personnel are currently on the scene of a two vehicle crash, involving a school bus, on Route 9.
Preliminary reports indicate a Colonial School District bus, heading to Gunning Bedford Middle School, was traveling southbound on Route 9. A pick up truck was on Hamburg Road at Route 9. The pick up truck pulled out onto Route 9 and into the path of the bus. The two collided and the bus subsequently traveled off of the roadway where it came to a stop.
At the time of this release, 9 people have been transported with minor injuries: 8 students and the driver of the pick up. All went to Christiana Hospital. It should be noted that parents and school officials responded immediately to the scene.
A more complete release will be provided later this morning when the details of this incident are known and confirmed.
What are the kids doing back in school already anyway? Why is it that schools are re-opening before Labor Day? It seems like summer vacations are getting shorter and shorter every year and that's just not right!!!
