Two Northside Independent School District school buses were involved in separate accidents on Thursday morning in Northside Independent School District. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
The first incident near\u00a0Babcock and Eckhert roads involved a bus carrying 47\u00a0Rhodes Elementary School students.<\/p>\n
The bus and a private vehicle collided as the bus was making a turn, district spokesman Barry Perez said. A second bus went to the scene to take students to school, and the school principal went there to assist, he said. Parents were notified.<\/p>\n
A short time later, a second accident involving a Northside\u00a0bus was reported near La Cantera Parkway and the Interstate 10 frontage road.<\/p>\n
One student from\u00a0Brandeis High School was on the bus, Perez said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPreliminary report was that the private vehicle may have cut in front of the bus\u00a0\u2014 but I can not confirm that,\u201d he said in an emailed statement, noting that San Antonio police responded.<\/p>\n
TxDOT officials recommend drivers follow school buses at a safe distance and keep an eye out for children boarding and exiting the buses. A driver passing a school bus in either direction while the bus is stopped with flashing red lights or an extended stop sign could receive a citation with a $1,250 fine for a first offense.<\/p>\n
The department advises students to stand as far back from the curb as possible while waiting for a bus. Students should wait until the bus has completely stopped and the driver signals it\u2019s safe to board; listen to the driver and remain seated; and cross only in front of the bus when exiting, waiting for the driver to signal when it\u2019s safe to cross the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Northside Independent School District school buses were involved in separate accidents on Thursday morning in Northside Independent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-412092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
