School Buses....not so safe!!



Today Madison went on a field trip. This is how it ended. She was one of six students transported to the hospital with injuries. Thank goodness, they were all minor injuries. Madison happened to be sitting at the window that was directly hit by the car. She hit her head and face against the window. She had a pretty bad nosebleed and complained of a headache and dizziness. She was checked at the ER and released. Pretty scary situation for all involved. And let me tell ya, that was NOT a fun phone call to get. Especially since we had to drive all the way to Scottsdale (about 40 minutes) without really knowing how she was. Here is the article from the newspaper.......http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/2008/05/06/20080506sr-busaccident0507.html





It was determined that it was the fault of the bus driver. Seriously don't know how these drivers are given the responsability of driving around kids when they never know where they are going for field trips. Mapquest??? GPS??? TomTom???
