Three LI Bus Crashes Tarnish End of the Week

Posted on Oct 15, 2011

Long Island suffered one bus accident on Thursday and two on Friday. The first one injured 27, including 14 children, and the two on Friday left only one injured.

The Thursday crash occurred about 9am in Cedarhurst, Nassau County. The collision involved an MTA bus and a school bus with preschool students. All injuries were minor and the thirteen MTA injuries included the driver, Joseph Pannell. All the children were released from the hospital by the end of the day. The MTA bus hit the side of the school bus, but the cause of the accident has yet to be determined and authorities are still investigating who had the right of way.

The Friday accidents occurred in Suffolk, early in the morning. The first accident took place in Brentwood at 6:47am. A car had collided into a Suffolk Transit bus. The car's driver was injured and had to be taken to a hospital.

The second accident occurred at 6:55am in Shirley. A school bus travelling south made a turn east just as a car moving north ran its light. The car slid beneath the back of the bus behind the wheels, crushing the entire front of the car. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the driver was issued a summons for running the red.
