City Bus Collides With Van Filled With Children

A 9 year old girl was critically injured and six others were sent to the hospital after a private van that authorities said was illegally carrying a group of young children to school collided with a city bus in Queens, according to a New York Times report. The New York Bus Accident occurred at about 8am, after the Dodge Ram filled with children made a left turn into the path of an oncoming Q46 Bus at 184th street and union turnpike in Fresh Meadows.

Rebecca Frazier, the 9 year old, was in critical but stable condition at Long Island Jewish Medical Center on Friday night. The other six children were in stable condition at various hospitals or were treated and released. The children ranged in ages from 5 to 12 and most were on their way to Public School 178 in Jamaica.
