In a bit of unsettling news from ⬅️ cozy Georgetown, a bus belonging to the Georgetown Independent School District (GISD) was involved in a minor accident on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred at the intersection of Sycamore Street and Greenside Lane, not too far from The Delaney at Georgetown Village, a popular local senior living community.
It was reported that the bus was carrying four special needs students at the time of the incident. Thankfully, the situation turned out far less serious than it could have been. According to officials from both the Georgetown ISD and the Georgetown Fire Department, all students on the bus sustained only minor injuries, and very fortunately, no one was seriously hurt.
For the local community, seeing a school bus involved in an accident can stir up a whirlwind of emotions. It’s scary when our kids are on the move, especially when special needs students are involved, who often require extra care and attention. Parents and caregivers in the area were understandably on high alert after hearing news of the accident.
What we know so far is that a car ran a stop sign, leading to a collision with the bus. The Georgetown Police are currently looking into the circumstances surrounding the accident in order to piece together exactly what led to the crash. They have reassured the community that safety is their top priority, and they aim to shed light on how the incident occurred as soon as they can gather all pertinent details.
First responders from the fire department were promptly on the scene, ensuring that all students received appropriate medical care despite the minor nature of their injuries.
