Possibly three minor head injuries, and/or other types of injuries, are reported after a car cut off a school bus transporting children.
The accident occured at about 11:50 a.m. when a dark blue or black Pontiac Grand Prix exited the parking lot of the Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union and went onto Jefferson Avenue.
The bus driver slammed on the brakes, they locked up, jolting everyone inside. There was no impact with the other vehicle, which is possibly registered to a Bergen driver, who continued on and left the area.
The bus driver also drove away, but then some children complained of pain and so he pulled into the parking lot of the Salvation Army on Jackson Street. Two Mercy ambulances are requested to the scene to evaluate the passengers.
UPDATE: A 6-year-old girl and one other child were taken to UMMC with minor injuries, complaints of pain. Police are continuing to look for the other vehicle.
Why in the world would the
Why in the world would the school bus go on the S curve in the first place , It has never been safe and it will never be safe
I've seen school buses going
I've seen school buses going down Jefferson by the credit union and Austin Park on several occasions. I don't know whether it's a standard route or a shortcut prompted by road work.
How about everyone needing to
How about everyone needing to be more mindful on the road! Where you have to go is not that impartant, so SLOW DOWN! I literally avoid accidents everyday when I drive through Batavia. People are just so much more focused on themselves, and where they have to be then those around them.

At 10pm last night, we were behind a lady driving 15mph on Main St. When we passed her, she was on her cell phone.
Gary that is an old joke, but still true. Sadly I used to work with a lady who was so in love with her image that she would spend her time in the car primping using her rear view mirror. I rode to a luncheon with her ONCE and asked for someone else to take me back to the office. It was a scary ride.
