Minor Accident Involves School Bus on Compo Road South.
Police officers inspect damage to a Dattco school bus that was involved in a minor accident around noon today. The damage appeared to be a scrape along the side of the bus, which seems to have happened when the bus and a white SUV, also remaining on the scene, collided in the area of Compo Road South and Park Lane. No injuries were reported, and no word on whether or not the bus was actively transporting school children. Both vehicles were able to be driven away from the scene without towing assistance.
A Dattco school bus was involved in a more serious accident less than one year ago on February 7th, while carrying more than 20 Kings Highway Elementary School students. A WestportNow article describes the accident that required the extrication of the driver by local firefighters.
This white SUV also remained on the scene while Westport police officers investigated the collision.
