Are bus stops and school crossings dangerous? Yes.

Vehicle-to-vehicle school bus incidents only account for a portion of school bus related injuries. Statistics show that our children are at the greatest risk when approaching and leaving school buses. Like most states, Connecticut requires drivers to stop, at least ten feet away, for a school bus displaying flashing red lights and a raised stop arm.

• Passing vehicles cause an estimated two-thirds of school bus loading and unloading fatalities.
• One-third of children who are killed outside of the school bus are between five and seven years old.
• Nearly two-thirds of school bus-related fatalities of school-age children occur outside of the school bus.

What should I do if my child is injured while on the school bus, at the bus stop or at a school crossing?

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

It is important to take your child to the doctor regardless of the severity of your child’s injuries. Keep in mind that it may take a couple days for your child’s injuries to surface.
