The probable reason behind this motor vehicle accident is considered to be a negligent Toyota Corolla driver, an 81 year-old woman, who drove parallel to the left wheel of the school bus, before it attempted to merge right into the left wheel of the school bus.  The bus started flipping as the driver host his control of the vehicle.  At least seven students of El Camino High School suffered bruises, lacerations, scrapes and broken bones amongst other injuries.

This car accident would stir up the emotions of parents about the reckless driving of the motorist, but at the same time the driver’s age has to be considered. It very well may be the case that she had lost the ability to be very aware of her surroundings and traffic.  It is a fortunate thing that none of the children sustained catastrophic injuries.  Nevertheless, this traffic accident has again raised an alarm that school buses should have seat belts.

We hope and pray that all the injured children and the driver of the school bus recover from their injuries quickly.

The school bus stopped turning when it hit a roadside ditch.  The bus then veered off the road and struck a power line.  At the time of accident there were twelve kids present in the bus out of which the eldest child, Shae Burkhart, 12, apparently jumped out from the emergency exit and escaped serious injury.  All the other children had to endure the bus crash and risked injury.

Unfortunately, a 6-year old boy, Kasey King, suffered catastrophic injuries and he later died at the scene. Six children travelling in the bus were treated for their minor to moderate injuries at a nearby hospital.

Adverse traffic conditions did not appear to be the cause of this accident.  The only other logical causes of this serious bus accident could be driver inattention and error or a defective road condition.  We offer our condolences and sympathies to the family of Kasey King for this tragic loss and hope for speedy recovery of the injured victims.  The investigation should focus on the actions and decisions of the bus driver to determine what actions should have taken place to prevent injury or death to the children who were riding in the bus.

Fortunately, all the students and teachers were evacuated safely and no one acquired major injuries. Medical aid was given to those who complained of respiratory problem due to inhaling heavy smoke.

It is unclear as to what started the fire. We all know that school buses are potentially dangerous as they do not have seat belts, but this is an entirely unexpected danger. This fire incident could have taken a bad shape if the young children were hurt.

According to the California Highway Patrol, this bus accident occurred in the parking lot of the reservation’s Golden Acorn casino.  The reservation is located about forty miles south-east of  Downtown San Diego.

Our office wishes for all the injured children to reach a full recovery.  It is hard to imagine that the bus driver failed to pay such attention to his job that the bus struck a light pole.  One would think that a driver charged with the safety of kids would be more careful while operating a vehicle.
