Early Monday morning the children riding on a bus headed to school were suddenly stopped after hitting a concrete pillar of a railroad bridge. Witnesses quickly jumped out of their to assist the kids on the bus. Once the first responders and EMTs arrived, they announced the driver and one student dead. Ten others were set to the hospital. Two are said to be in critical condition, while eight others are said to only have bumps and bruises. They are investigating weather the driver lost control of the car or if it was a mechanical issue. The mayor visited the crash site and then the school and said it was a tragic accident and that everyone needs to show their support to the families. Hopefully all of the children in the hospital will be okay and thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the bus driver and the boy who did not make it.
