Dump Truck Accident in NJ

A New Jersey motor vehicle accident between a dump truck and a school bus has claimed the life of a New Jersey girl and left her two sisters critically injured. The motor vehicle accident victims are triplets and the daughters of a New Jersey State Police trooper. The triplets were among 17 victims of the tragic bus and truck accident.
The bus and truck accident was reported shortly after 8:00 a.m. Thursday. Law enforcement says that 25 students were aboard the school bus when the bus crossed into intersection along Route 528 at Old York Road. The intersection has a red blinking light on Old York road. A dump truck, traveling on Route 528 drove through an amber blinking light at that intersection and slammed into the school bus on the driver’s side of the bus, near the rear of the bus.
The bus spun upon impact and was hurled into a utility pole, which embedded itself into the left side of the bus.
The dump truck careened of the bus and came to a stop in a grassy area along Route 528. Emergency responders used a nearby house as a makeshift triage center to evaluate the condition of the truck and bus accident victims.
Authorities say that 17 of the 25 students aboard the bus were injured and required hospitalization at multiple hospitals after the wreck. Nine students were treated at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital-Hamilton. Authorities say that one of the injured was released Thursday afternoon.  The lawyers  see accidents like this in Houston all the time.
