An unidentified girl sustained a severe leg injury in a multi-vehicle accident that involved a total of 3 cars and a school bus last Friday afternoon just before 4:00pm on Route 2 in Lincoln.
The girl who suffered the serious lower leg injury was a passenger in an SUV that was involved in the crash. There is no additional information on her condition at this time. Besides the young girl, five other individuals sustained injuries that were determined to be minor in nature.
The collision occurred when an unidentified driver of a pickup truck veered into the right lane of the roadway in the area of Bedford Road and subsequently hit the SUV.
The SUV then collided with a bus that was transporting campers from Fenn School. The chain reaction crash then resulted in the bus colliding with another vehicle.
According to The Boston Globe, there were 9 campers on the bus at the time of the collision and all 9 were reportedly uninjured following the crash but were taken to an area hospital as a precaution. Two adults on the bus were transported to the hospital as well.
Authorities have reported that the multi-vehicle accident continues to be under investigation.
Car Accident Statistics
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 168,000 children under the age of 14 suffered injuries in car accidents across the U.S in 2008. The CDC has reported that motor vehicle accident injuries among young children are oftentimes caused by incorrect positioning of a child safety seat or are due to a child not being restrained at all. If children were secured in the correct size and type of safety seat, the CDC reports that severe and even fatal injuries would be cut by over 50%.
