In Opp, Alabama, two children were taken to the Opp (Alabama) Mizell Memorial Hospital for personal injuries that were sustained in a school bus accident. Another student was later transported to the hospital by a school staff member. The other vehicle involved in the accident crashed into the side of the bus as the bus was turning. The driver of the other vehicle had to be removed or extracted by the vehicle by a jaws of life device.

The cause of the accident or fault for the accident was not reported in the news article. See Opp, Alabama School Bus Accident Results in Personal Injuries.

School buses populate our roads mostly in the early morning and mid to late afternoon hours. All drivers should proceed with caution and slow their speed down when driving near a school bus or a school bus stop. Far too many injuries are sustained by children riding school buses every year. Safer driving free of driver distraction can help prevent or reduce the number of school bus accidents and resulting child injuries.
