Students injured on bus

BEDFORD — Multiple students were injured in a mishap involving a school bus at 3:20 p.m. Friday at Broad Street and Cedar Lane in Bedford Township, according to state police at Bedford.

State police said the school bus carrying students from the Bedford Area School District was traveling west on Broad Street when another vehicle was heading south on Cedar Lane. The vehicle on Cedar Lane began sliding down a hill because the roadway was covered with loose gravel.

Both drivers applied their brakes and a collision was avoided, but police said that as a result of the bus driver applying the brakes, “multiple students suffered minor injuries.” Multiple students were transported to UPMC Bedford Memorial hospital.

State police were assisted by school district officials, the Bedford Fire Department and Bedford EMS.
