Accidents
If you are involved in an accident that causes injury, property damage to other’s property, or renders the bus inoperable, you are required to call 911. A police report MUST be filed by the police responding to the accident.
You will also need to notify one of the following:
 
Transportation Director
Betsy Hamm – 765-364-3235

Transportation after hours cell phone available from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm  765- 376-3926

If you are involved a minor accident, you MUST report it to transportation upon returning.

We all know that an accident is stressful; however it is very important for you to remain calm and make the correct decisions regarding the safety of everyone involved. At the accident scene be careful what you say to anyone and only discuss the accident with a school representative or a police officer. Always tell the truth; however do not volunteer information to anyone at the scene.

*Should an accident occur, it is the bus driver’s responsibility to control the situation by remaining calm. Panic or emotional response will only make matters worse. The following steps should be used in the event of an accident:
*Stop the bus; turn off the engine if needed.
*Determine if any passengers are injured. Take care of their welfare first.
*Have students remain in the seats occupied at the time of the accident. Keep calm: Do not argue or try to place blame.
*Place reflectors out as soon as possible.
*Do not allow students to leave the bus unless safety dictates otherwise.
*Under no condition shall students be allowed to wander around. Have them wait until other
transportation comes for them.
*If necessary, send two responsible students for help.
*The Transportation Director or Assistant Transportation Director will notify the building principal served by this bus.
*The building principal or other administrator will attempt to contact parents of students with possible injuries.
*The driver will complete, in a timely manner, all accident report forms required by CCSC, law enforcement officials, and insurance companies. Reports are required of all accidents involving personal injury or property damage.
