January 8, 2010
Five children received minor injuries in school bus accident this afternoon in Cantonment
The accident happened about 4:20 Friday afternoon on Kingsfield Road near Ziglar Road, just east of Highway 29. The Florida Highway Patrol says Josepk Erickson, 30, pulled out of a private driveway into the path of a 2010 model Escambia County School bus driven by Wanda H. Bright, 50, of Pensacola. Erickson and a passenger in his 2002 Kia minivan, Pamelia G. Erickson, 55, received minor injuries. Bright, the bus driver, also received minor injuries. None of the adults were transported to the hospital.
There were 10 students on the bus from a Sid Nelson Learning Center program ranging in age from 1 to 17. Five of them — ages 1, 6 and three 17-year olds — were transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injures.
Josepk Erickson, the driver of the minivan, was charged with violation of right of way by the Florida Highway Patrol.
Everyone involved in the crash was wearing a seat belt, according to the FHP.

It is frustrating to get caught behind a bus, I know because I get tag teamed a few times a week, when one bus turns, another one seems to appear out of nowhere.
However people, as a general rule, are idiots and terrible drivers. It is far too easy to get and retain a drivers liscense in FLorida. Personally Ive never been stopped or ticketed in 8 years of driving. Ive been rearended over a halfdozen times, had the back end of my parked car nearly ripped off by a guy in a parking lot, and had a guy in a drivethru try to park his truck on my hood….
People are far too concerned with what is going on on their navigation screens, GPS’s, drop screens, Cell phones, back seats…they cant perform the simple task of Look left, look right, look left again, proceed with caution.
Glad no one was hurt, but honestly…this type of thing is far too common.
you know for the life of me i have never understood why people do not see the BIG YELLOW BUS have some respect those buses have kids on them stop trying to beat the bus we dont slow you down that much I promise most of us if we have a lot of stops nearby will pull over to let traffic pass get over yourselves and think of someones baby and know if you hurt them or god forbid kill someone not only will you ruin your life but you will be haunted with the fact your selfishness took a life or hurt someone … please beaware those buses have someones loved one on board.
I do hope that everyone involved in this accident is ok, prayers to you all…
