Took These Photos AFTER Calling 911

 

These photos were taken after I called 911 and after the police and emergency crews were on the scene. With so much going on, those five minutes  talking to the 911 operator seemed a lot longer.

I was able to describe the turned over bus, share that the 16 passengers, many if not all in wheelchairs, were trapped inside and requested multiple ambulances.

Hopefully no one will have lasting injures from that crash. How long did it take for the lawyers to show up?

Thank you all for the comments. There were lots of reports on the news. There was a lot of emotional trauma to those in the bus, in the car and even neighbors.

Good job on being a first respondent and reporting the incident to 911 Margaret. I followed the link after reading your post and I am glad you weren't involved in that accident. It sounds like this is a very dangerous intersection. The accident must have been very frightening to you and all the people on the bus. It's times like this when time is truly of the essence and your quick thinking to get help was needed for those seniors involved in the accident. Your compassion for others is evident. Be safe Margaret and I hope all the seniors recover.

Always concerned for the seniors, and when things like this happen especially when you see the bus on it side.

I'm willing to bet money that speed for the road conditions was a cause.

It takes a considerable amount of force to turn over such a vehicle and one of the factors is speed.

Margaret- so glad that you had your "nurse's" cool head on when you called 911.  That's scary to think of the people in wheelchairs wondering how they were going to get out.

Your heart must have been racing trying to get everything done, the ambulances on the way and making sure you comforted the seniors as best you could. Thank goodness you were there for them.

Evelyn Johnston   Kathy Streib  It wasn't my heart racing. It was pain. I ran out with no coat and the temperature was 5 degrees! So my head was really cool!
