Pymatuning Township, PA (October 29, 2025) – Emergency crews were dispatched to the area of Colt Road. and Route 11 on Tuesday morning, October 28, following reports of a collision involving a school bus and a pickup truck, according to the Pymatuning Township Police Department. The incident occurred around 11:15 a.m. when a white Ford F-150 collided with a school bus carrying students from the Reynolds School District.

Emergency medical personnel transported approximately six students to a nearby hospital for treatment of suspected minor injuries.

Responders from the Pymatuning Township Fire Department assisted at the scene to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. The Pymatuning Township Police Department continues to investigate the incident, reviewing evidence and statements to determine the factors contributing to the collision.

School Bus Accidents in Pennsylvania
School bus accidents, although relatively rare, can cause significant concern for students, parents, and communities. When collisions occur, even minor injuries can lead to distress and long-term effects for young passengers. Pennsylvania law mandates specific safety regulations for school buses, including maintenance standards, driver certifications, and operational rules designed to protect students during transport.
In most cases, these accidents stem from driver error, failure to obey traffic signals, or unsafe road conditions. When another driver runs a red light or fails to yield to a school bus, the consequences can be severe. Investigations often involve reviewing surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and examining vehicle data to determine responsibility.
For families affected by these types of crashes, understanding their legal rights is crucial. Injured students and their parents may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and emotional distress.
