    Four children are recovering from minor injuries after a bus crash in the City of Newburgh on their way to school last week. According to the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, the bus was carrying students from Most Precious Blood private school in Walden on Friday when it was involved in a collision at the intersection of Broadway and Wisner Avenue shortly before 8 a.m.
    District officials say three students were taken to the hospital by ambulance. A fourth is believed to have gone to the hospital with their parent. A representative for the City Of Newburgh says the driver of a vehicle involved was transported to the hospital with chest pain and that parents were immediately notified. So far, it’s not clear what may have caused the accident. The bus was operated by West Point Tours. News 12 reached out to the company and police for more information but didn’t immediately receive a response. "

    Wait a second, let me correct myself. It is 100% the trainers fault, they take inexperienced people that also have a hard time driving a car in many cases and teach them how to do things 100% incorrectly. The drivers didn't walk into the permanently hiring offices knowing how to drive, they were taught by an imbecile. Sorry drivers, no ignore 75% of what you were told by the hustle 'em in "trainer" and use your common sense. See a line of frustrated drivers behind you? Pull over and let them by, you don't own the road. A car approaching in a 55 zone? Let them go, you don't accelerate rapidly. Parents want to talk your ear off? Shut the door and go, there's email for that, holding up traffic to accommodate Karen is not the way. I'm sure that you are smarter than what's displayed by your driving, nobody is that oblivious unless they're told to be because their vehicle is a yellow box truck with some seats bolted to the floor.

    Worst drivers on the road. Cut people off, hold up traffic so busses can all make a left turn, I've even had one of these buffoons cross a double yellow line to go around a garbage truck that was stopped, almost hitting me head on. Then there's the company in Walden that apparently never told their "drivers" that when there's 12 cars stacked up behind you, pull over and let them by. Route 52 in the AM you will see a parade of over 20 cars stuck behind Mrs/Mr Oblivious every day. Dashcam footage to prove all, all by the same company. The best are the ones that stop and park, empty, in a lane next to an empty parking lot! Yeah, you bus driver stopped on Lake Avenue right in front of the empty lot, stupid blocking a travel lane. Then they go 10 under on every street, not just 84, that's a safety hazard in itself! Stay off of 84 also, law says you cannot exceed 55, but ok to be a safety hazard on 84? Get off the damn highway! I wouldn't trust these drivers with a busload of feathers.
