Dashcam audio captured the frightening moment an SUV slammed into a school bus this morning.
Video obtained by TLS shows the school bus traveling on Forest Avenue around 6:35 AM, just ahead of the driver picking up her first student.
As the driver traveled through a flashing orange light, an SUV traveling on 9th Street – apparently at a high rate of speed – slammed into the side of the school bus.
The driver of the school bus was hospitalized with minor injuries, and there were no serious injuries reported to the driver of the SUV.
Police are investigating the accident.
What is with our town, every day an accident or two?
Actually, per Lakewood police statistics, Lakewood averages 15, that’s fifteen, accidents daily!
Lucky it was a bus and not a car. Could’ve been fatal if hit a car like that.
Thank G-d no children were on board when this maniac drove full speed into the bus. Notice, no car horn, no sound of brakes. Pray the bus driver will be okay.
We need more stringent enforcement of traffic violations in Lakewood , this seems to be an every day occurrence.What will it take for everyone to just pay attention and stop being in such a rush ?
Just another typical day in Lakewood.
This poor driver. What a frightening experience. Prayers for a quick recovery! Please please please, for everyone’s safety, put down the phone, pay attention, and drive with courtesy. Thankfully there were no serious injuries.
It’s scary to drive on the roads in lkwd no jokes
