Dogwood Elementary Bus Involved in Collision

Two students transported to hospital after accident on South Lakes Court.

Two students on a school bus and the driver of a car were transported to Reston Hospital Center after the car collided with a Fairfax County Public Schools bus on Thursday morning.

The bus was carrying students heading to Dogwood Elementary School when it was rear-ended on South Lakes Court near Escalante Court shortly after 8 a.m., said Fairfax County Police public information officer Don Gotthardt.

The driver of the sedan was traken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, Gotthardt said. Two students were also taken as a precaution, but did not have obvious injuries, he said.

The accident was cleared by 9:45 a.m. and another school bus delivered the rest of the students to school.

As I passed by my front window and looked out, I thought something terrible must have happened because there were so many emergency vehicles on the scene. Better safe than sorry. It looked like the car just smashed into the back of the bus. It was crunched a bit under the bus and had to be towed. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

Drivers, car and bus, need to stop texting while driving. If either were found doing so @ the time of the accident they should be prosecuted. I can't imagine how scared the children were.

Eh. The responsive design is ok on mobile devices, but it feels really weak on a website. TheRead More "local" photos at the top are low res. It could be tailored a little more like another user said, he missed the little touches like the local weather. An RSS feed of local AP news wouldn't hurt despite the focus of local-only content.

How much individual design is AOL allowing the editors of this site?

If the RA Board approves this self serving move by another RA Board member then the board membersRead More who do so should be voted out of their roles the next time they run for election.

Mr. Farrell, methinks thou protest too much. What ridicule and derision? It seems that you areRead More fanning the flames and rooting out some sort of scandal that, from my view, doesn't exist. As I understand it, there is a by-law provision that allows a homeowner to ask to be included in the RA. This wasn't something made up to accommodate one person. It was adopted for any single homeowner or cluster to opt in. There is no slippery slope. The rule is not being changed or adjusted for one person. The rule or by-law was in place prior to any of this hand wringing. Next, Ms. Rostant and all the other RA Board members are serving on a volunteer basis. Do any of you critics see some sort of gain to be had in this case? I find the witch hunt nature of some regarding this matter to be dubious if not mean spirited. Its easy to sit back in your easy chair and type away on your computer and deliver your edicts to resign. Get the facts. The lack of civility in some of these posts is repulsive.
