A school bus, carrying dozens of students, was involved in a crash with a lumber truck in Clermont County yesterday afternoon. According to FOX19, the collision occurred when the bus, belonging to Goshen Schools, and a Carter Lumber Truck collided, clipping mirrors at the junction of Woodville Pike and Telford Farm Lane around 3:45 p.m.
Despite carrying 40 to 60 students, only the bus driver sustained injuries during the incident, stated dispatchers. The students were returned to the Goshen campus and were then released to their parents, as reported by the school district in a social media post shared with FOX19, "The district has communicated with all families directly involved and all students have been released to their families." The Ohio State Police has begun investigating the crash.
Additional details emerged from a LOCAL12 report, which confirmed the time of the crash as 3:46 p.m., slightly updating the earlier time provided. While the number of students aboard the bus varied, none sustained injuries, contrasting with the bus driver's situation post-crash.
Kimberly Moore, a parent of one of the students on the bus, expressed her concern in an interview with WLWT, "I ran over there like where's my kid, where's my daughter," she said. Moore recounted that the glass broke during the collision, some of which landed on her daughter's head, leading her to be checked by EMS at the scene. The quick response from local law enforcement and first responders was commended by the district, ensuring that immediate care was provided.
