Student among 3 injured in crash involving box truck, school bus on I-95

WESTWOOD, MASS. (WHDH) - One student was among the three people taken to the hospital with minor injuries Thursday after a crash involving a box truck, a vehicle and a school bus on Interstate 95 at the Westwood/Dedham line.

Officers responding to the northbound side of the highway prior to Exit 14 before 8:30 a.m. found a Jeep Compass with serious front-end damage partially wedged under the school bus, which was heading to Xaverian Brothers High School.

The bus driver, a 34-year-old man from Brockton, and a 15-year-old student on the bus were taken to Norwood Hospital for minor injuries.

Thirteen other students on the bus were not injured.

Xaverian officials say they contacted the families of the students involved.

“We are extremely proud of our young men’s behavior today,” the school’s principal, Dr. Jacob Conca, said in a statement. “As always, the safety and well-being of our students is our first priority. May God continue to watch over the Xaverian community.”

The driver of the Jeep, a 24-year-old woman from Charlestown, was transported to Beth Israel Hospital for minor injuries.

The Charlestown woman and the 40-year-old male driver of the box truck that hit her were cited for traveling too closely to the vehicle in front of them.

The crash remains under investigation.
