Multi-Bus Chain Reaction Crash Puts 20 Children in New Jersey’s Hospitals
Around 100 people, mostly children, were aboard five school buses traveling back home after a day at JCC Medford Day Camp when a chain reaction collision occurred. It’s not immediately apparent what made the leading bus driver initiate his breaks causing the multi-bus crash, and police investigators have yet to make any comments regarding fault in this motor vehicle accident.
Thankfully, no one was critically injured in the accident. At least 21 of the summer camp kids, however, did sustain personal injuries that required medical treatment at a hospital. Two bus drivers were among those injured and transported to a nearby medical facility. Officials say the Medford Township Traffic Safety Unit will be further examining the evidence to make a determination about what led to this crash. The company who owns and operates the buses involved in this accident, the Safety Bus Company, has not made a statement about the incident.
