According to an official accident report recently released by the California Highway Patrol, a school bus traveling near Orange Cove when a Honda Civic and the school bus collided. Details regarding the causes behind the accident were not available but according to the troopers who responded to the scene, witnesses claim that the Honda driver was critically injured while two students suffered minor injuries.

All victims were transported to the hospital while crews worked to clear the road and reopen the intersection.

It’s my hope that all people injured in this unfortunate accident are being able to recover quickly from their wounds. I encourage drivers to follow traffic regulations and to always yield to stop signs at all intersections. If you’re always aware of the road ahead and the traffic surrounding you, accidents can be avoided and injuries could be prevented.
I encourage you to never ignore road signs. Stay safe and keep others safe by staying focused while behind the wheel and never giving in to distractions that could cost your life.
