Five Injured in School Bus Crash
According to a recent article from ozarksfirst.com, a school bus crash in Missouri left five people injured in El Dorado Springs. The collision occurred in the morning, just east of town, on northbound Highway 39. The bus was stopped in a designated school bus area to pick up passengers when a pick-up truck, driven by a student, struck the rear of the bus.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reported that the bus had its flashing lights on and stop arm extended. The driver of the truck was allegedly speeding and unable to stop the vehicle in time. Four students from the bus and the student driver were transported to the Cedar County Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. There were 16 total students on the bus at the time of the crash.
Victims of collisions like this one may not discover injuries associated with the incident until a few days after the accident; therefore, putting them at a disadvantage for receiving just compensation for their trauma. Minor injuries can develop into long-lasting conditions, inhibiting victims of wrongful personal injury from certain daily life activities.
