A routine school day took a frightening turn in New Bedford, Massachusetts, when a collision between a passenger vehicle and a school bus resulted in all 15 children on board being transported to local hospitals as a precaution.
According to the New Bedford Police Dept, the incident unfolded when 73-year-old Shaun Healey of North Dartmouth pulled a vehicle out of a parking lot directly into the path of the oncoming bus. The bus driver was unable to stop in time to avoid the impact.
