Two School Bus Accidents This Week in Broward and Palm Beach

Every day we entrust the safety of our children to school buses as we send them off to school. Unfortunately, school bus accidents do happen, often resulting in serious injuries.

This week, there were two school bus accidents in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. Fortunately, only minor injuries resulted.
