Horrible Bus Accident in Burlington County

[blksheep 466]

Putting differences aside on political views, religious views etc. lets remember what is important in life. Family. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the little girl that passed and all injured in the accident.

As a father my heart goes out to that trooper. Hopefully the other two girls make a full recovery.

Everyday is a gift, and every day I get to spend with my family is a gift with a cookie inside.

 

Prayers go out to the family of Trooper Tezsla and the community.

Interested in the results of the investigation. I'll put 5:1 odds on the fault being that of the bus driver.

 

 

feel terrible for the little girl and her family

What a terrible tragedy. What a horrible situation for the family, specially those triplets losing a sister.

I know the intersection, it is controlled by stop signs and a blinking red light. It would appear to me the bus was pulling out from the stop sigh when the dump truck ran the stops into intersection, hitting the rear quarter of the bus and spinning it.

 

I will be through there tomorrow and will take a look. Plus leave some flowers.

Yeah thats a bad intersection. I grew up around there and went to school at NBC.

A horrible situation for any family.

 

I was curious about your comment regarding the likely driver at fault. Google Earth shows stop signs and blinking lights on Old York Rd, where the bus was being driven. I suspect you are right.

Hard to say who's at fault. The bus had a flashing red light, dump truck had a flashing yellow.

in my 11ish years of riding the bus I was in 3 (minor thank god) accidents. all were completely avoidable and 100% the bud drivers fault.

 

I'm not sure about the rest of the state...but down here the only drivers they usually get are retiree's. they're was past being able to even operate a family sedan safely let alone a school bus.

 

 

You cant "run" a flashing yellow light, its up to the driver with the stop to make sure the way is clear. unless that dump truck made it to triple digits im placing blame on the bus driver.

 

If that is indeed the way the intersection is layed out. and of course the truck had lights on if it was dark

I live only two minutes from that intersection. Those dump trucks drive way too fast through there to begin with, which ever way it turns out. My heart brakes for the families and children who have to now live with that day. It's very sad.

I heard this on 880am, very sad. Hoping the other 2 that were on the bus don't have too many problems after this. My best the the rest ofnthenfamily, friends and other children Aandrea family.

Sad, very sad. Such a tragedy. We also extend our thoughts and prayers to the Tezsla family.
