Several people are injured after tractor-trailer crashes into car behind school bus

Several people were injured Monday morning after a tractor-trailer crashed into a car waiting behind a school bus on Route 28.

Police said that a car was parked behind a school bus that was picking up students when the tractor trailer slammed into the car. Multiple vehicles were involved and at least six ambulances were called to the scene.

Two of the injured sustained serious injuries, the other four were also taken to the hospital but the extent of their injuries is unknown.

The bus had no damages and none of the passengers were injured.

Investigators shut down two lanes of Route 28 while they reconstructed the accident. They aren’t sure if weather played a role in the accident since heavy downpours were reported in the area.

Victims of tractor-trailer truck collisions often incur serious and in some cases fatal injuries. These victims can be temporarily or permanently disabled and face expensive medical bills along with their everyday living expenses. When these injury victims hire a truck accident attorney they can be assured they will receive fair compensation.

After a truck accident lawyer determines which party is at fault for a person’s injuries, they can hold this careless driver responsible for the harm they cause to another. Representation of a truck accident attorney guarantees the accident victim will get a fair and just settlement for their suffering.
