A student driver hit Whitman bus 1420 while merging from River Rd. onto Goldsboro Rd. shortly after leaving school this afternoon.
Though the student car sustained some damage to headlights and front bumper, the bus sustained minimal damage.
“No students were injured,” principal Alan Goodwin said in a message sent out to Whitman families. “Students were transferred to another bus and taken home.”
Students said the wait for the replacement bus was a minor inconvenience, but overall the situation was handled efficiently.
