NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. (WHDH) - At least two people were hospitalized after a crash involving a school van in North Andover, officials said.
The van rear-ended a truck before then being rear-ended by a car while bringing three kids home from school along Massachusetts Avenue near Interstate 495
The driver and an aide were taken to the hospital as a precaution and three children on board were not injured, officials said.
Beth McCullough’s son Hunter and his older brother Devin were on board the bus.
“I got a call from the bus company saying to come pick them up. That the van was in an accident,” she said. “It certainly was very scary for me as a parent especially since both of my kids have autism.”
No one in the other vehicles was hurt.
McCullough said she is just thankful her kids are home and doing OK.
“He’s jumping, he’s having a good time,” she said. “Basically, I think the kids were kind of just unfazed. It was just another day for them. Just a little loop in the day.”
No other information was immediately available. Police are investigating.
