A driver police say hit a Fulton County school bus Thursday morning in Sandy Springs and causing it to catch fire faces charges of failure to maintain a lane, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
There were 39 students aboard and 19 suffered minor injuries.
According to the AJC, the crash occurred when the driver of a car hit a school bus stopped at a light north of Glenridge Road. The car went under the bus, catching fire and causing the bus to catch fire.
Over the last several years traffic has become denser and the way people drive has gotten worse. Many more are distracted, aggressive or downright careless with what seems like a lack of understanding a several thousand pound car at 80 or even 30 mph is a deadly weapon.
My favorite is the ‘let me Facebook/have a text conversation’ while driving and the ‘if I can squeeze in here I will get to the next red light faster’….
It is a wonder how doesn’t happen more often. Thankfully no one lost their life today.
