I don't see it mentioned, so here is the scoop.

Two buses full of Littlestown 3rd graders collided with each other on the way back from a Field Trip to DC. One bus rear ended the other in Fredrick at a speed between 20 and 35 mph (heard 20 from a teacher and 35 from a parent that claimed to hear it from the Superintendent).

The bus drivers decided to continue back to the school without reporting it. The kids were kept on the buses at the school for about an hour so the school nurses could check them out AND waiting for the MD State Police due to the fact it happened in MD and was not reported. Littlestown Borough ended up taking the report for them.

Does anyone know the law regarding the bus drivers being drug tested? I would think it would be required, but I am unsure.

I think it is and since they left the scene of an accident I'm thinking someone is going to be in big trouble!!!! One of the parents did call 911 from the bus and they left without talking to the Police.

If my child would have been on the bus and I was told to wait inside and not told anything and found out what had taken place the cops would have been called and the drivers held till everyone involved would've gotten some answers. The bus drivers know this know matter how bad the accident is they are to report everything.

I read about this online yesterday and then read several newspaper articles about it.

Obviously the public hasn't been told everything yet but if I had a child on one of those buses I'd be talking to an attorney. I dislike the fact that we have become a litigious society but this incident was handled very poorly.

They cancelled the 911 call at the scene and avoided having MD police show up and then Littlestown police became involved much later.

It's a very odd situation.

If I insulted you...you needed it.
