Wasn't there a story here last week about reckless drivers on West Bayshore? Was the SUV driver a local or someone cutting through to avoid Hwy 101 traffic?

Wow, there has been so many accidents related to school buses, but this is the very first time it was made public. I remember the time a school bus hit a child riding a bike. Nothing was published, another time a bus hit a PAUSD staff, nothing was published, and so on. Finally we heard something, it was probably because it was not the fault of the bus driver. I am concerned about the students who are on the bus, when they have accidents, there is no one to watch over the students and the bus driver has to get off the bus to give the report to the police officer. I have been there and it does not look good for the kids, they are scared, and sometimes, experiencing pain. Imagine 45 kids in a bus with no supervision. I bet it was a party.
