I\u2019ll share what I\u2019ve been told, which has also been confirmed by law enforcement.</p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">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.</p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Two additional children and eight adults were evaluated at the scene and did not receive medical treatment. </p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Baltimore County Police and Fire are investigating the cause of the collision.

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.</p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p><p class="ydpcbb0818byiv2931329786MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>NFBMD mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NFBMD@nfbnet.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NFBMD@nfbnet.org</a><br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbmd_nfbnet.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbmd_nfbnet.org</a><br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBMD:<br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbmd_nfbnet.org/sdj60259%40aol.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbmd_nfbnet.org/sdj60259%40aol.com</a><br></div>
