In Greenland, a Kittery Community Center Bus Crashed on 95 South

This morning, just after 9am, a bus crashed on 95 Southbound, according to a story from Seacoastonline.com.  The story says the bus was carrying 11 children and 2 staff members.  Two people, one 18 year old and a 10 year old child was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.  The other people on the bus were transported to Exeter Hospital for either unknown injuries or precautionary measures.

Kittery Town Manager Kendra Amaral, in the aforementioned story, said the accident involved the Kittery Community Center’s SAFE program van, which was headed to a day trip at Candia Springs Adventure Park.

Southbound traffic was backed up all the way back to the Maine State line.

I am grateful that there were no fatalities with this accident.  It could have been much worse.  Sitting in traffic for a little while is nothing compared to the people in the bus who actually went through it.  All the best to all the passengers!
