According to reports, a bus from a local Ribnitzer school was driving on Southgate Drive in Spring Valley, when it slammed into a nearby house. A second car was pinned under the bus.
While details surrounding the accident are still unclear, some reports suggest the bus had originally struck two parked cars, at least oneof which got dragged along and ultimately pinned under the bus.
At least 21 victims have thus far been extricated from the wreck, with at least two reported to be in serious condition.
One child is reported to be in critical condition, and is undergoing emergency brain surgery. Please say Tehilim for Yehoshua Herschel ben Sasha.
Further details will be published as they become available.

Speed bumps were installed there recently. It was a really poor job. This wasn’t the first vehicle that lost control there. Drivers be careful.
Refuah Shleima to the kids that need it.
I complained to my son who is a bus driver about how the bus drivers are nasty drivers. He told me to write down the bus # or name and I’ll see that it’s the same 6 drivers. Boy was he right!
1 other observation, a majority of bus drivers are on the phone.
Before people pile on , could it be the driver had a medical emergency while driving …?
Seizure, stroke heart attack ..
It’s rare for houses to jump in front of buses like that .
Horrific! Southgate is a very, very scary road to drive. It’s a very steep hill which curves in the middle.
There have been accidents in the past where cars have crashed into homes on this street. This isn’t the first time nebech.
Does anyone know how many routes these drivers do in a single day ? If they would be such bad drivers you would probably hear about more accidents.
Isn’t it sad how people just jump to immediate conclusions and condemn without having any details of what happened?

Check the divers phone. I bet he was on his phone at the time of the accident.
Reflectors?
Obviously poor driving by the bus driver, but the videography here is not so great either.
Not surprising with the way the bus drivers drive!!!!!!!!
