Middle School Girl Dies in School Bus Crash
A 13 year old girl died Tuesday when a tractor-trailer crashed into her school bus. Frances M. Schee, was an 8th grader at North Marion Middle School in Florida. There were 21 students on the bus. Eight others were injured in the crash.
The tractor-trailer rear-ended the bus while it was dropping students off on its after school route. The crash caused the tractor-trailer to catch on flames, and the fire eventually spread to the school bus. While the buses are considered to be very safe vehicles, the truck's impact was too much for it to withstand.
The truck driver, Reinaldo Gonzalez, had been talking on his cell phone at the time of the crash. He also has been convicted of 15 moving violations in the past three years.
Four people who witnessed the crash helped pull students out of the burning bus. Their efforts prevented other needless deaths in this horrific accident.
If you have been injured as a result of a truck accident in the Orlando, Florida area, please contact the law offices of Best & Anderson, P.A. today for an initial consultation.
