Two Danbury Students Injured in School Bus Accident

A car versus bus accident left two Danbury middle school students injured Wednesday.

Two Broadview Middle School students were transported to Danbury Hospital after a school bus accident Wednesday afternoon, said Elio Longo, director of finance for the Board of Education.
The accident involved a car and a bus, and no more information was available Wednesday night.
The accident was revealed in a Board of Education meeting, because the school system needs to have a school nurse on hand for an hour before school and after school in case of such an accident, Longo said.
Superintendent of Schools Sal Pascarella said hours for school nurses had been cut this year to save money in the budget, and this was an unanticipated consequence. Longo said EMS or Hospital personnel asked for a nurse and a school principal to appear at the scene of such accidents. Ed Robbs, Broadview principal, drove to the accident on Shepard Road.
