The Freeman reports that a bus destined for a local home for disabled residents was hit by a pickup truck on Route 145 in East Durham this morning, injuring both drivers and two passengers:
Police said the driver of the truck was airlifted to Albany Medical Center. His 13-year-old son, a passenger, was taken by ambulance to Albany.
The bus driver was also injured and taken to Albany Medical Center. An aide on the bus was taken to Columbia Memorial Hospital, police said.
Is there something in the air? Just two days ago, in an unrelated incident, an Ulster-Greene ARC bus with seven disabled people and two staff members on board crashed in Kingston, causing minor injuries.
And two weeks ago, a school bus in Ulster mysteriously caught fire with three students aboard.
