Students Unhurt After School Bus, Truck Crash Near Enfield

ENFIELD, CT — A school bus carrying children was involved in a minor crash at the Somers/Enfield town line Wednesday afternoon, according to Connecticut State Police Troop C.

Troopers said the crash occurred Feb. 25 on Shaker Road, where the bus and a northbound tractor-trailer made contact as the roadway narrowed due to snow along the shoulder.

Police said the bus was traveling southbound at about 30 miles per hour while the tractor-trailer was heading northbound at roughly the same speed. At some point, the driver-side mirrors of both vehicles struck each other, causing minor damage.

The bus was registered to Smyth Bus, which provides student transportation for East Windsor, Enfield, and Windsor Locks.

Several school children were on the bus at the time, but no injuries were reported. The drivers of both vehicles were also unhurt, according to Troop C.

Both vehicles were able to drive away from the scene.
