One dead in school bus-delivery truck crash
By Lawrence Walsh and Taryn Luna / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
NEW LEXINGTON -- A head-on collision between a large Pepsi delivery truck
and a school bus from the Turkeyfoot Valley Area School District left at
least one person dead and many others injured this afternoon.
Mark Bower, superintendent of the Rockwood Area School District, said there
were 22 students on the bus plus the driver and another adult. The bus was
coming from the Somerset County Technology Center in Somerset and was
heading to Confluence.
The students were 10th, 11th and 12th graders who attend classes at the
technology center.
State police Trooper Steve Limani, a spokesman for the state police in
Greensburg and Somerset, said a tractor-trailer truck going north on Route
281 crossed over the center line and struck the school bus head-on. The
truck driver died "very quickly" after the crash. Investigators were working
tonight to extract him from the vehicle and to learn why he crossed the
center line.
Officials said this stretch of Route 281 serves as an artery in the area,
connecting many small towns. The country road winds frequently and the speed
limit changes often from 25 mph to 35 mph or 45 mph. Trooper Limani said
investigators will analyze skid marks, the angle of impact and other
evidence while trying to determine the cause of the crash.
Mr. Bower said eight to 11 people on the bus were flown by helicopter to
Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown and Somerset Hospital. One
injured student was flown to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
Another six students were transported by ambulance to the hospitals, and
seven more were taken to Somerset on a Rockwood Area school bus.
Conemaugh Medical Center officials later confirmed that two adults and three
students were being treated there.
Greg Chiappelli, a spokesman for Somerset Hospital, said a total of 17
students were being seen at the hospital and all were expected to be
released after treatment.
Mr. Bower said emergency responders from New Lexington, New Centerville,
Confluence, Berlin, Meyersdale and Somerset rushed to the scene, about 15
miles from Somerset.
"First responders did an incredible job -- professional, calm," Mr. Bower
said. Passing motorists stopped to help, as did residents of the area, he
said.
The accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. at the top of a hill that makes a left
-hand turn heading south from New Lexington.
"This is my worst nightmare as a parent, a superintendent and a community
member," Mr. Bower said. | l*********0

是的。
Officials said the bus driver, identified as Wilbert Kemp, was admitted to
Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown Wednesday night after
undergoing surgery. Ms. Hoover said Mr. Kemp has been with the company "a
long time," 10 years or possibly longer.
