Deer Crashes Into School Bus Windshield In Dartmouth,Massachusetts 5 Students And Driver Hurt


A Dartmouth school bus was involved in an accident earlier this morning when a deer went through the windshield, according to the Dartmouth Police Department.
The deer struck School Bus No. 18 near 490 Chase Road at around 7:15 a.m. after being struck by another vehicle.
Police said that five people ⁠— the bus driver and four students ⁠— reported minor injuries.
The deer did not survive.
The children were taken to St. Luke’s hospital in New Bedford as a “precautionary measure,” according to the Dartmouth Schools.
Superintendent of Schools Bonny Gifford praised the response by emergency personnel, Tremblay’s Bus Company, the hospital staff at St. Luke’s, and the school district’s administrative, maintenance, and nursing staff.
“The support we got from everybody involved...was incredible,” she said. “It was obviously a pretty big shock. The driver of the bus, his arm or hand is messed up, but he was in pretty good shape considering, and his first concern was for our students.”
Gifford went on to say that the driver’s response was “remarkable.”
“He was able to function immediately and get the kids off the bus,” she said.
