There was a bus accident this morning, 04-19-17, around 7:50
a.m. involving Bus #28 (Tom Quinn's route bus) just east of Gladbrook on Hwy
96. The students and driver
were quickly evaluated by Gladbrook EMTs.
Most of the students on the bus were released to
their parents or legal guardians at the scene of the incident.
Out of an abundance of caution, a small number of students
who were not picked up by parents or guardians were taken to Grundy County Memorial
Hospital to be examined. All appear to be uninjured, but the examination at the
hospital is a precautionary measure that is part of our regular protocol. G-R staff members will remain at the hospital
with the students. Once cleared by the hospital, these students will be released
to their parent/guardian and/or school.
We will be providing transportation back to the school for all students,
once they are released.
The Tama County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the
incident. The bus driver has been placed
on administrative leave during the investigation.
We wish to thank the wonderful volunteers from the community of Gladbrook who were the first to respond at the scene – the ambulance crew and EMT’s, the Gladbrook Fire Department, and even the mayor was on hand to help coordinate. These volunteers are the heart and soul of our community, and we appreciate you!
