A Nissan Sentra and a Flagler County schools bus collided shortly after 4 p.m. today on North Old Kings Road at Fanshawe Lane, causing significant damage to the sedan but no injuries to the students on the school bus.
A Flagler County schools spokesperson identified the bus as the “Giraffe,” number 21403. It was carrying 23 students from Old Kings Elementary and returning them home throughout Palm Coast’s F-Section. Another bus was dispatched to the scene to pick up the students and complete the route.
The incident was reported at 4:15 p.m. The Nissan’s front end was smashed up, and its air bags deployed. The Nissan’s driver reported minor lacerations. Flagler County Fire Rescue and the Palm Coast Fire Department responded, but the driver of the Nissan declined to be taken to the hospital.
Old Kings Road’s lanes were briefly blocked. Roger’s Towing of Bunnell was to tow the Nissan.

Probably another example of phone use while driving! People who do this and cause accidents shud have their driving license REVOKED!

That was a jump to conclusion in order to vent your personal views acting as though the public is your therapist. That was not mentioned anywhere in this article at all-car could have had mechanical failure, slid on a surface-the driver could have dropped his toasted bagel with cream cheese while driving OR the bus itself could of been at fault-point is it did not specify any reasons-why would you jump to such a conclusion other than to flap your lips through a local paper?
