No injuries reported after car rear-ends school bus at Lake and Mill, Le Roy

By Howard B. Owens

A car reportedly rear-ended a school bus at Lake and Mill streets, Le Roy, at about 6:50 a.m.

No injuries were reported.

There was air bag deployment on the passenger vehicle, but the driver claimed no injuries.

A Le Roy fire chief responded to the scene and determined that fire police could handle traffic and Le Roy's engine need not respond so traffic could be kept moving.

By 7:09 a.m., the vehicles were moved off the road and Le Roy fire was back in service.

Le Roy Ambulance reported no injuries to the school bus passengers either. A school official arrived on scene to take charge of the three passengers on the bus.

I feel bad for the school bus driver. Even though he or she was not at fault in any way, because there is damage, now that bus driver has to go through a battery of tests (per Part 382).

To that driver: Not only did you have to endure the trauma of the accident itself-the panic of hoping none of your kids were injured; but now comes the semi invasive testing for something that WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! Hang in.

To you, and the rest of the bus drivers, thank you for all you do for the children of our community. Our loved ones and our future is literally behind you.
