On Wednesday, November 8, at approximately 7:15 am a school bus carrying West Shore School District children stopped northbound on Bridge Street at 3rd Street for a red light. The operator of a pickup truck, traveling behind the school bus failed to maintain a safe distance between his vehicle and the rear of the school bus and struck the rear of the school bus.
There were no injuries to anyone on the bus or the operator of the pickup truck. Both vehicles were able to be moved from the scene and the kids were delivered to their school.
The operator of the pickup truck had outstanding criminal warrants from another law enforcement agency and was taken into custody pursuant to those warrants and taken to Cumberland County Booking.
