A tragic bus crash near the Hudson Valley has left two children in critical condition, with three others also injured. The crash occurred close to the border of Orange County and New Jersey, shaking the community and raising concerns about the safety of school trips.
The incident took place on Tuesday at approximately 3:15 p.m. when the West Milford Police Department received numerous 911 calls reporting a bus crash on East Shore Road in New Jersey. Upon arrival, officers discovered a tour bus operated by Monsey Tours of Brooklyn, New York, on the side of the road. The bus had sustained significant front-end damage, and many of its occupants were injured.
The bus was transporting 56 students from a Brooklyn school on a class trip to Greenwood Lake, New York. The joyous journey turned into a nightmare when the bus collided with a tree, causing a large branch to break off and penetrate the vehicle, resulting in severe injuries.
Emergency responders found a chaotic scene, with injured children needing urgent medical attention. A total of five young girls were hurt in the crash. Three of them sustained minor injuries and were transported to Chilton Medical Center for treatment. However, two girls were critically injured and required immediate advanced medical care. One was airlifted to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Paterson, while the other was flown to Hackensack University Hospital in Hackensack.
The critical nature of the injuries has left families and the community in deep concern, anxiously waiting for updates on the children’s conditions. The West Milford Police Crash Investigation Unit is actively investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of the crash. Preliminary reports suggest that the bus might have swerved to avoid something on the road, leading to the collision with the tree. The investigation will include a thorough examination of the bus’s condition, the driver’s actions, and any external factors that might have contributed to the accident.
Parents and community members have expressed their shock and sorrow over the incident, highlighting the importance of safety measures on school trips. The school involved has not yet released an official statement but is reportedly cooperating with the authorities to support the affected families and assist in the investigation.
