fternoon school bus accident sends three to hospital

McDONOUGH – A 4 p.m. motor vehicle accident involving an Oxford school bus resulted in three children being transported by ambulance to Wilson and Chenango Memorial hospitals for non-life threatening injuries yesterday, according to emergency officials.
The bus was carrying a total of 27 passengers, including the driver, a bus aide and 25 students. The accident – which occurred on Hammerle Road in the Town of McDonough – is still under investigation by the Oxford Central School District and the New York State Police.
Two students were taken by Oxford’s ambulance service to Chenango Memorial Hospital while a third – transported by Cooperstown Medical Transport – was taken to the Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City.
The McDonough Fire Department also received emergency assistance from the Town of Pharsalia, according to First Assistant Fire Chief Mike Beckwith.
“It was handled well by the fire and EMS agencies involved and some parents were concerned, obviously, which we understand, being parents ourselves,” added Beckwith. “We just hope they understand that, when something like this happens, there’s a certain procedure that must be followed in order to release the children, but we understand their anxieties. We want to make sure (the children) are all OK before they’re released.”
