[MD-AtLarge] Information About MSB Bus Accident

[president at nfbmd.org]

Friends,

Many of you have reached out to inquire about today's Maryland School for
the Blind bus incident.  I'll share what I've been told, which has also been
confirmed by law enforcement.

 

This afternoon, at about 2:30 PM, a Maryland School for the Blind bus,
carrying three students and two adults, was involved a collision in
Parkville, Baltimore County, which resulted it in the bus striking two other
vehicles and a building.  The bus came to rest partially inside the
building, which was a store front pharmacy.  One child and two adults
suffered minor injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals.  One of
the adults was confirmed to be the bus driver.  The other adult has not been
identified.  The child who suffered minor injuries was one of the bus
passengers.

 

Two additional children and eight adults were evaluated at the scene and did
not receive medical treatment.  

 

Baltimore County Police and Fire are investigating the cause of the
collision.  MSB will not be commenting on or discussing this matter until
the investigation concludes.

 

I do not know which children and adults from the MSB community were in the
collision, and even if I did, I would not be able to share their names
without their consent.  

 

Fortunately, the injuries are minor.  Please do keep those who were impacted
in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Regards,

Ronza

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
