| Narrative
of Accident |
On July 8,
1999, 3 year old special education student being taken home from
summer program was saved from almost certain injury by a quick
thinking ambulance driver who radioed police that he was following a
school bus that was weaving over the double yellow lines and onto
the shoulder, barely missing telephone poles. The police
pulled the driver over and arrested him for DWI. He had a seltzer
bottle filled with ZIMA and was tested as having a blood alcohol
level of .199%, almost double the legal limit. The driver
admitted to having five alcoholic beverages before and during his
drive to and from the school. The student arrived home two
hours late. His parents were lied to by the company on three separate
occasions as to the whereabouts of the their three year old
handicapped child. The company is We Transport, Inc. and are
one of the largest child transporters in the County of Nassau. After
the incident, it was learned that the driver was an alcoholic and
had been sent home on at least one other occasion because he had
arrived to work drunk. |

| Narrative
of Accident |
I complained about the driver. She
was dropping the children off and speeding off before letting them
clear the bus. She was backing the bus up onto people's front
lawns, she did not know how to use the signals and controls in the
bus( i.e. flashing lights or stop sign). She played hard rap
music in the bus with bad language and violent messages in it. I
complained to the school district twice about the above things.
The driver backed the bus into me and knocked me over a 4 foot high
fence while I was 6 months pregnant. I delivered a premature
baby and ruptured spinal discs requiring spinal surgery. I
am fully disabled now.

| Narrative
of Accident |
I
visited my grandson's grave today, placed some flowers there and
thought how big and handsome he would be today. He would be 12 yrs old
now But on a beautiful fall day on November 9th, 1995, my precious 5
year old grandson, Joshua, was run over and killed by his school
bus....the very thing that was supposed to bring happy memories of
safely taking him to kindergarten and bringing him home again to his
mom and dad and little sister. Instead, right in front of his very
house, on a back rural county road, it brought him horror and a pain
and void which has never left our hearts to this day.
There were several kids who got off at his stop, but he was the only
one who lived on the left side of the road. The driver was a
substitute, and wasn’t aware of this. He thought all the kids went to
the right side of the road and never even knew he had hit Joshua,
until the cars which had stopped flagged him down. Josh was killed
instantly, as his mom (my daughter) ran to his side, with his 3 yr old
sister at her side, and a bus load of hysterical children witnessing
the whole thing.
After the shock of the situation began to sink in, I had to believe
something had to come out of this....since that time, the school
dstrict had placed swing gates on all their buses (Thank God!)
If I can be of help to expedite this equipment all over the
nation....please call on me! |
