A woman was hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday morning after a collision involving a school bus full of students in north-central Phoenix.
Emergency crews responded just after 9:30 a.m. to the area of 16th Street and Glendale Avenue. The bus, which was transporting 68 students from Sts. Simon and Jude School, collided with a passenger vehicle.
Fire crews evaluated all students in a nearby parking lot. Six children reported minor issues but did not require emergency transport. Parents picked up some of the students, while a second school bus arrived to take the rest.
The woman driving the other vehicle was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Authorities have not released additional details about what led to the crash.
More guidance on school bus safety in Arizona is available through the Arizona Department of Transportation’s resource page.
