Police: Framingham Driver Who Struck Bus To Be Cited

The female driver of the car that struck a Framingham school bus on Thursday afternoon, sending 10 students to the hospital with minor injuries, will be cited, said Framingham Police Lt Stephen Cronin.

Lt. Cronin told Patch the driver will be cited for failure to yield to a school bus.

The Framingham woman driver was coming out of Lymam road and making a left turn when she crashed into the school bus on Edgell Road, said Lt. Cronin.

Lt. Cronin said he did not have the driver’s name at this time, as she was transported to the hospital with “non-life threatening injuries.”

The school bus was carrying 31 elementary students, according to a press release issued by the Framingham Public Schools at 5:18 p.m. Initial reports had 40 students on the bus.

Bus #15 was transporting students from Dunning Elementary and Hemenway Elementary, said Lt Cronin.

Initially, Superintendent of Schools Stacy Scott said 13 students had minor injuries, but the number has now been lowered to 10 students, according to a press release issued by the district.

More than a half dozen ambulances, along with Framingham Fire and Framingham Police responded to the scene.

Parents once hearing about a bus crash on Edgell Road near the Dunning neighborhood, began rushing to the scene as well.

Edgell Road was a traffic jam for more than 90 minutes tonight.

Framingham Police are still investigating the crash.

Framingham Patch will update when we have more details.
