Bus Strikes Three Students at Massachusetts College
Bus Strikes Three Students: A Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) bus struck three students at Mount Wachusett Community College on Tuesday morning, leaving them with injuries. The incident occurred around 7:50 a.m. in Lot B of the college’s Gardner campus while the bus was attempting to make a turn. Campus police confirmed the event in a statement posted to Facebook.
According to the statement, first responders arrived promptly at the scene to assess the situation. The three students, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Fortunately, all three students were “alert and communicating” when officers arrived, which suggests the injuries, while serious, were not immediately life-threatening.
In response to the incident, police have confirmed that the college has been in contact with the students’ families and offered support to those who witnessed the crash. Additionally, MART has expressed their commitment to cooperating with local law enforcement to ensure a thorough investigation.
“The three students, we understand, were injured in the accident, and their full recovery is our only concern,” a statement from MART said. At this time, the Montachusett Regional Transit Authority has not responded to inquiries from local news outlets regarding further details about the incident.
The Type of Compensation at Stake
For the students involved in this unfortunate incident, compensation may be available for both their physical injuries and emotional distress. Depending on the circumstances, several types of compensation could be at stake for the victims, including medical expenses, pain, and suffering, lost wages (if the students are unable to work due to their injuries), and any emotional trauma suffered as a result of the crash.
