Police: Woman Rear Ends 2 School Buses Within Half-Hour
The Indy Channel ^ | November 28, 2006

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A woman rear-ended two school buses with her car within about a half-hour on the same street, police said.

No children were injured, but the driver of the car, Amy Osborne, 31, was taken to Bloomington Hospital after she had to be cut out of her car following the second crash Monday, police said. She was not seriously injured, police said, and there was no record of the Bloomington woman at the hospital Tuesday.

"They put her on a backboard and a neck thing. She was crying a lot," said Chuck Brown, who heard the second crash from his home.

No charges have been filed, and the crashes were still being investigated, said Bloomington Police Sgt. Steven Kellams.

In the first crash just before 8 a.m., 11 children were on a bus headed to Summit Elementary School. The bus was turning right when Osborne's vehicle struck it from behind, said Mike Clark, director of transportation for the Monroe County Community School Corporation.

"Everybody was fine," he said.

Emergency workers checked out Osborne and the bus passengers, and they continued on their way, he said.

The second accident was just before 8:30 a.m. as a different bus with no children aboard was waiting to turn left.

No listing was available for Amy Osborne in the Bloomington telephone directory.

C) Combining A and B? Disastrous.

Then, add this into the mix.

Reminds of a story...I was stopped at a t-section, where you could only turn right or left. As I was waiting for traffic to clear, this friend of mine passed in front of me on a motorcycle and was staring at me. I stared back wondering why he is staring when all of sudden he ran over a curb and disappeared into some trees and bushes. LOL

Super Dave was certainly no Einstein.

Oh, wait. He WAS an Einstein. D'oh!

Fair enough, but even my girlfriend acknowledges that women are generally not very good drivers, and when given a cell phone in the car, are flat out dangerous.

Unrelated and off topic, however.....

Many years ago ( about 30) I was once charged with being in 3 auto accidents in less than 30 min., AND the ticket said I had been drinking! ( ya gonna take a bad hit on ya insurance for that one folks...lol)...What happened....

I was driving home from ice fishing on a very narrow road that went between two lakes. It was warm earlier that day and I did drink one beer that a friend offered me on the ice.

It turned colder and was now freezing rain on the glare ice on the road. I was going just fast enough to make it up the hill ( about 25) when a lady driving too fast slammed into the back of my car as it fishtailed slightly. ( #1)

That through my car into a slow speed spin down the road and at about 5 mph my car bumped into a truck that was stopped in the road. ( #2) The back window was covered with ice/snow so I couldn't see as I backed about 3 feet to let the guy in the truck out. I bumped a parked car because I was sideways in the narrow road then. ( #3)

The cops were real p*icks and wrote it up as seperate accidents. ( I lived in another county).

A judge was going to pull my license but when the facts were explained ( witness's) he through it all out including the tickets that said it was my fault.

It was one of those " How could things get worse?" type of days...lol

I see a pattern developing.

Maybe it's a good thing the hobbit lass doesn't ride a bus to school. Although one of the band buses wrecked on the way to a competition a few weeks ago. Hmmmmmm.

"What's with Indiana drivers."

It's the color yellow. Sucks them right in. You could title the picture "this is your brain on yellow."

I laugh about it now but it wasn't funny at the time.

The judge said the weather and the lady that hit me first caused 100% of the 3 accidents.
