On Wednesday in New York state, a car crashed head-on into a school bus, badly hurting four people. One of them was a teen driver who didn’t have a license.
Around 2:13 p.m. local time, the event took place in Westchester County, near Mount Kisco.
The New Castle Police Department said that officers went to a “head-on motor vehicle accident” between a school bus from the Yorktown Central School District and a 2016 Honda Accord driven by a 16-year-old from Bedford Hills who didn’t have a license.
The New Castle Police Department said in a statement that the preliminary investigation found that the driver of the Honda Accord “lost control while rounding a curve, crossed into oncoming traffic, and hit the bus head-on.”
Police said that the driver and his three passengers were taken to Westchester Medical Center with injuries that could kill them.
Police said that everyone on the bus was taken to Westchester Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening. They did not say how many people were on board.
The Westchester Medical Center in New York told ABC New York station WABC that the crash hurt nine people in total.
Aerial video of the scene showed that both the Honda Accord and the school bus had major damage to their front ends.
There were a lot of cops, fire, and emergency medical services at the scene.
Residents were told to stay away from the area “due to a serious accident and investigation.”
The crash is being looked into by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, cops said.
