A flatbed truck crashed in to the back of a school bus in Hillsboro Thursday afternoon, sending three people to the hospital, the Associated Press reported. The truck driver sustained severe injuries to his leg and had to be taken by helicopter to a Huntsville hospital for treatment. Two of the students on the bus were treated for minor injuries and released. Fortunately, no other injuries were reported.
School bus accidents are especially tragic because they inherently involve young children. In addition, school buses are not equipped with safety features, such as seatbelts and airbags, that are typical of other vehicles. That is why even the most minor accident has the potential to cause serious injuries. If your child has been injured in a school bus accident involving a large truck or any other vehicle, you should seek the advice of a Birmingham truck accident lawyer immediately.
