11 Taken to Hospital after Oregon School Bus Crashes
Oregon, OH
Oregon police have responded to two separate school bus accidents that happened near each other and around the same time Thursday morning.
The first accident was near Seaman and Wynn. There were 28 students on bus #43 en route to Clay High School when a car coming from the opposite direction went left of center. The bus driver knew there were only two options to react: allow the car to hit the bus head-on, or swerve to the right of the road, possibly hitting a utility pole and rolling over. The bus driver decided to stay as far to the right as possible. The car still hit the bus head-on.
Following the crash, 10 students were taken to the hospital for minor injuries or to be checked out as a precaution. The driver of the car was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Eighteen additional students, along with the bus driver, were not injured. Another bus came to pick up those students and transport them to school.

Barrington Middle School Students Suspended over Sex Abuse on Bus
Barrington, IL
Two students at a northwest suburban middle school have been suspended after the district investigated a series of alleged sexual abuse incidents that took place earlier this month on a school bus, Pioneer Press is reporting.
Tom Leonard, superintendant of Barrington School District 220, sent a letter to parents Tuesday notifying the community of the reported assaults, which officials said occurred over a four-day period from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4.
“The bus driver noticed some questionable activity going on in the back of the bus,” said Jeff Arnett, chief communications officer for District 220. “Almost at the same time, a student submitted a bullying report on behalf of the student on the bus.”
The report, Arnett said, prompted Prairie Middle School officials to examine surveillance videos taken on the bus.
