MT hates hearing about bus crashes, especially those that involve children as young as preschool. You want to believe that children are safe riding the gigantic yellow limo, but truth is, tragedy can strike at anytime.

MT hopes that the truck driver who rear ended this bus will have his license taken away and pay a serious fine at minimum as it was undoubtedly his fault.

Two elementary-age students were severely hurt and were flown to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, said Lt. Paul Falduto, a sheriff’s spokesman.

“One was a child who was getting off the bus at the time it was struck,” he said.

The truck driver, a man in his 50s, was not injured seriously. He was taken to a local hospital and was being questioned by sheriff’s deputies Friday evening. Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said the truck driver may have been drinking from a soda can at the time of the crash, according to the Associated Press.
The 18 injured included 16 children and both drivers, police said.

“The [less-serious injuries] are anything from broken bones to scrapes and bruises,” Falduto said.
