TEAMSTERS LOCAL 633 MEMBERS IN THE NEWS!! GREAT JOB WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!Pelham School Kids Safe Due To School Bus Driver Skills During Accident
A crash on 293 South in Manchester at 7:20 PM involved a school bus and pickup truck. The driver of a school bus with Pelham Students kept 30 students and 2 coaches safe by keeping the bus upright, and on the roadway after it was struck by a pick up truck in Manchester. The pickup truck with only the driver in it struck the school bus and then hit the guardrail.
After the impact, the two vehicles came to rest 350 yards apart, the pickup truck in the high speed lane, the bus further south in the breakdown lane. This necessitated a fire/ems response to two separate accident scenes. The driver of the pickup was trapped in his vehicle as the impact of the collision pinned his legs under the dashboard of his vehicle which required fire crews to use the Jaws of Life hydraulic tools to extricate him from his vehicle. The extrication process took 20 minutes to complete. He sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The school bus, from the Pelham school district contained 30 middle and high school players from a softball and a baseball team. They were returning home from a game in Weare. All students were evaluated by MFD and AMR medics. It was determined that 2 students sustained some bruises from the force of the collision. None of the students were transported to the hospital. Another bus was summoned and the students were safely transferred onto this bus and sent on their way back to their school.
MFD District Chief Gamache stated “I commend the driver of the school bus for keeping the bus upright and on the roadway after this violent collision with the pickup truck. If she were not able to control this bus, injuries to the students could have been much more severe considering the road conditions and the volume of traffic.”
The accident is being investigated by NHSP.
