Commentary
It doesn’t sound as if there were any fatalities in this accident. It seems as if everyone involved is going to be alright. Unfortunately, traffic accidents involving school buses are always tricky, as the buses belong to the school district, which belongs to the city. As a municipal entity, they’re protected by sovereign immunity, which makes recovering any of sort of damages extremely difficult. Hopefully, if anyone was injured, the school district will be able to step in and make things right.
