Multiple Injuries In School Bus Wreck In Pensacola; Dump Truck Ran Red Light
August 28, 2015
Multiple students were injured when a school bus loaded with students from Pensacola High School was hit by a dump truck and overturned in Pensacola Thursday afternoon.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 16 students were transported to area hospitals, two as “trauma alerts”. The FHP said bus driver Harriet Collins, 27, along with 22 students and a driver’s assistant were westbound on Jordan Street attempting to cross Pace Boulevard.
A Mack Dump truck being driven by Abraham Larry, Jr., age 33 of Pensacola, was traveling north on Pace Boulevard. The dump truck driven by Larry ran the red light at the intersection of Jordan Street on collided with the left rear side of the school bus. The collision caused the school bus to overturn and strike a utility pole, coming to final rest on its right side.
The FHP is continuing their investigation. Any charges in the crash are pending.

I am praying for the students and bus driver. God will take care of them
I am praying for all the students on that bus may god be with them.
Praying for students and driver hope all will recover well.
Our prayers are with all involved with this accident.I do not know what all happened in this accident. But I have worked for some of the trucking companies and two things that they most seem to have in common is pushing their drivers to go faster, you are never fast enough and if you turn in mechanical problems too often they let you go. Now I don’t know anything about this company that the dump truck belonged to. But all these trucking companies need to put safety first.
Prayers go out to families of everyone involved in this crash. My son attends this school. Thank God he was not on this bus.
Just heard about this accident on our 10pm newscast on KPRC in Mo’City, TX. My heart and prayers are extended to all families involved. I still Love Pensacola and All Her People. GOD BLESS!!!!
