The accident generated dramatic images. The bus skidded on North South Gate Drive and struck a pole and a tree before colliding with two cars in a driveway, police said.
The bus then went down a grassy hill and struck several trees before crashing into the house on North South Gate Drive. Twenty-two people, including the unidentified driver of 42 years, were in the vehicle, said Pix.
The driver and seven children were taken to the hospital with various injuries. Videos and photos at the scene showed the yellow school bus with its front end smashed, leaning against a house next to an overturned car. A path of torn-up dirt and broken tree limbs stretched up a hill behind the vehicle. The impact apparently crushed the bus’s engine compartment and tore off part of the house’s siding. The reason for the freak accident is unclear.
In a similar case, in September a robber fleeing a Rite Aid pharmacy ended up crashing a car into a KFC chicken restaurant in a kidnapping attempt in Queens (NYC).
Also that month an elderly woman crashed her car into a chicken restaurant in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. And a 42 year-old drunk driver was arrested after crashing her car into an electric pole and then a residence in Saugerties, Ulster County, New York .
In August a car entered the kitchen of a home in a spectacular road accident in Farmingdale (Long Island, NY). The driver, a 37 year-old from Queens, NYC, was captured after fleeing the scene.
