Two students suffered minor injuries and a motorist was cited Friday morning when a Blythewood High School bus was rear-ended, report media sources.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, at approximately 8:05 a.m. A school bus, driven by a 66-year-old Columbia woman, was traveling was traveling eastbound on Eagles Ridge Drive, and a Honda vehicle carrying a driver and a passenger was traveling behind the bus. The bus slowed to stop and was rear-ended by the Honda.
Two students suffered minor injuries—one complained of neck pain, the other suffered a knee injury—and were taken to a local hospital for treatment, said a Richard District 2 spokesperson. The remaining students transferred to another bus and continued on to school.
The Highway Patrol cited the driver of the Honda for driving too fast for conditions. Neither occupant of the Honda was injured in the collision.
Being a Moncks Corner car accident lawyer, I am well aware of the types of injuries that can be suffered in a rear-end collision. I wish the injured students a rapid recovery from their injuries. Because of my experience as a Moncks Corner personal injury attorney, I am very aware of the split-second difference between everything seeming fine and a terrible vehicle crash. I urge motorists always to practice safe driving habits and to stay alert to changing road and traffic conditions.
