Carthage R-9 school bus involved in collision at Chapel and Fir Road

(From the Carthage R-9 School District)

This morning at approximately 7:25 am, a Carthage School District bus was involved in an accident. One of our school buses transporting students to school was involved in a traffic accident with another vehicle at Chapel and Fir Road. 

All students were given the opportunity to be evaluated by medical personnel on the scene which resulted in a few students seeking additional medical assistance. 

Parents were notified and arrangements were made to get students to school. We are very appreciative to the community members who stopped to help and to the emergency responders who arrived to provide needed services to all involved.
