Tragedy Strikes: School Bus Involved in Multi-Car Crash in Nashua
In a shocking turn of events, a school bus carrying students was involved in a multi-car crash on Wednesday morning in Nashua, New Hampshire. The incident took place on West Hollis Street, leaving one student hospitalized and causing chaos among authorities and school officials.
The Nashua School District Superintendent, Mario Andrade, released a statement regarding the accident, stating that the bus was transporting three students to Nashua High School South at approximately 7 am when the collision occurred. Thankfully, only one student suffered minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital as a precautionary measure. The other two students were unharmed and were safely reunited with their parents. Both the bus driver and the bus monitor escaped unscathed.
The accident also involved three other vehicles, further complicating the situation. The crash took place on Hollis Street, causing a major disruption to the flow of traffic in the area. Emergency services, including fire and police departments, swiftly arrived at the scene to provide assistance and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
The Fire Department faced an additional challenge during their rescue efforts.

Despite this setback, the first responders managed to handle the situation with efficiency and professionalism.
As of now, the investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Authorities are working diligently to determine the factors that contributed to this unfortunate incident.
