3 East Haven students and one adult were injured recently in an incident in which their school bus collided with another vehicle.
While traveling northbound on I-91 near Exit 23, three sixth-graders from Joseph Melillo Middle School and one staff member were injured in an accident involving their school bus and a car. According to the driver of the vehicle, East Haven resident Tara Downes, she was driving in the middle lane of the highway at about 9:30 am when a tractor trailer, which was driving to her left, suddenly moved into her lane, pushing her into the school bus which was in the right lane at the time. She says that as a result of the accident her car became pinned between the bus and the tractor trailer.
This injured students and the staff member were on a field trip, going to the Connecticut Science Center at the time of the accident. They were all taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The remaining students were boarded onto another bus and returned back to school. The field trip was rescheduled.
