    Evening,

    I swore there was a subsection somewhere for accidents. I cant find it, if an admin can move this to a more suitable place?

    (Copied from wfmz.com)
    EAST LAMPETER TWP., Pa. - More than a dozen children were injured when their school bus rolled onto its side in a hit-and-run crash near Lancaster on Wednesday.

    The accident, involving a Lancaster Mennonite School bus transporting students to school, happened around 7:50 a.m. on Route 30, near Route 896, in East Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, about a half-mile east of the Rockvale Outlets.

    One of the students was ejected from the bus and seriously injured, authorities said. Thirteen other students and the bus driver suffered minor injuries.

    The initial investigation has revealed that the driver being sought caused the crash by attempting to pass two oversized tractor trailers and their escort vehicles while traveling east on Route 30, according to the Lancaster County district attorney's office.

    The light-colored, newer-model sedan then veered back into the eastbound lane, hitting the rear of an escort vehicle, which was then pushed into the westbound lane, where it sideswiped the oncoming school bus, officials said.

    The sedan, with a male driver, continued traveling east. Anyone with information about the driver or the vehicle, which should have front-bumper damage, is asked to call East Lampeter police at 717-291-4676.

    I had somebody get impatient and tried to pass me one time. When it was all over with it was a real mess. Everyone's in a hurry going absolutely nowhere.

    Very sad that some people feel the need to be reckless to survive these days. I wonder if the police are watching craigslist for a newer sedan with a few minor scratches.

    Jail is too good for this jack hole. 13 children injured equals 13 times worth of *** whuppings. And I'm not talking about behind the woodshed either,just beat downs right where he stands(ol skool).

    I drive an 11 car stinger. Just today I had some bozo in a straight truck who couldn't wait 10 seconds. I had to take both lanes to turn a sharp turn into an Enterprise lot. He came barreling around me to find another car carrier unloading in the median. He couldn't slow down and came turning around me very sharply to miss the the car carrier. People are getting braver and dumber by the minute.
