Overview
- The crash, which happened Thursday morning on Zoo Parkway, sent four San Pablo Elementary students to hospitals for evaluation.
- The bus was carrying about 30 kindergartners to a zoo field trip and was stopped at a railroad crossing when the semi hit the rear.
- Durham School Services and Jacksonville Fire and Rescue evaluated all passengers on scene, and one hospitalized child was home and resting by Friday.
- One injured child’s family retained attorney Sam Hartiens to investigate the semi driver and pursue potential claims as the local inquiry continues.
- Buses in Florida must stop 15 to 50 feet from tracks and look and listen for trains, and it remains unclear whether these rules were followed in this case.
