hang off the top at noon several
children are hurt after a crash today
involving a school bus it happened on
595 and Davi more than a dozen kids were
hurt and taken to the hospital let's go
now to local 10 News reporter Samantha
Bryant she's live in Davie with the
latest on the crash and injury Samantha
well Jonathan Nicole right now we're
outside of signature palm where where
the students were brought here just for
their safety so that they weren't on the
side of the road I can tell you we have
some students right here that were on
the bus and we're gonna talk to them in
just a few moments but they just got
their things off of the bus this is the
bus behind me that was involved in the
accident on 595 around 5:00 9:30 this
morning right around Davie row of the
on-ramp was closed we want to show you
sky 10 video again the delays this
morning was serious as this incident
happened around 9:30 but the on-ramp was
closed for several hours we spoke to the
FHP Pio just to find out a little bit
more information and here's what he had
to say there's a total of 18 people that
were transported to local hospital
fortune of them being students that were
in the bus luckily for all of us there's
minor injuries and we were able to get
video from inside the school bus Davie
Fire Rescue told us that again 18 people
were transported to area hospitals with
minor injuries
we're told 14 kids total were
transported here's what one of the kids
that was on the bus
said he heard screams and right before
that felt the impact we were just
writing and then I just heard like there
girls in the front of the bus start like
screaming and then next thing I hear is
just like the glass shatter and then I
just see the car roll by like the right
side of the bus and it was just like
kind of insane and I first like my heart
was just like racing I didn't even know
what's happening and so yeah it was just
pretty crazy and I we could imagine that
a lot of those kids were very terrified
they didn't know what was going on from
what we heard and from the surveillance
video that we're going to show you later
on what we saw is that it was a four it
was a three-car collision in the center
lanes and then the school bus inevitably
slammed into one of the vehicles were
told again that no there were no major
injuries as far as with the kids we're
gonna actually send you to that
surveillance video right now again you
can look at that video and see that
there were three cars that were involved
in a collision in the center lanes and
then watches a school bus in the far
right lane tried to stop but then again
slams into one of the vehicles again all
of the kids on that bus there were 14
that were transported but we're told
that there were minor injuries back out
here live we're gonna continue talking
to these kids about their experience we
were told that they are actually part of
a summer camp from west Pines Community
Church and that they were on their way
to an excursion this morning when this
crash happened for now we're live from
davies samantha bryant local 10 News and
Samantha before we let you go so we know
that there was 18 people transported 14
students do we know how many people in
total were on the buses we know there
were two buses right and were there any
teachers on board well there were two
buses involved but it was only one bus
that was initially involved in the
incident we're told that it was about 30
to 40 kids that were on the bus again 14
of them were transported with minor
injuries when I spoke to one of the kids
he said that some of the counselors that
were in the front sustained some
injuries to their shoulders because the
bus jolted forward but again there were
no major inch injuries in this accident
and also Samantha before we let you go
any idea ages we did see kind of an age
range there we saw some younger children
maybe some kids in their preteens or
any idea that the age range of the
students on board this bus well I can
tell you when I spoke to one of the
community leaders from the camp they
said that all of these students are
either in middle or high school so we
know that the age range is probably from
14 to 19 years old so far again a lot of
these students here say that they were
shook up by the incident but they're
happy that their other fellow colleagues
are okay okay Samantha we know you'll
stay on this we'll continue to follow
this for you thank you and once again
