Yesterday afternoon, three teenage students were injured in a pedestrian accident involving a school bus in Jefferson County. The victims range in age from 15-years-old to 18-years old.
A spokesperson for the Colorado State Patrol reported that the three students were walking across a crosswalk when a school bus attempting to turn left hit them. The bus was not carrying any students at the time of the accident, and officials believe that it had a green light. However, a witness to the accident said that the teens had a walk signal when they crossed.
The witness also said that after the accident the bus driver seemed to be in shock because they did not get out to help the injured teens. Other drivers and witnesses helped the students while they waited for paramedics to arrive. All three of the victims were taken to St. Anthony’s Central hospital and were listed as being in moderate condition.
