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.

Why did you join the Black & White?  

I originally took Intro to Journalism (the prerequisite class for being on the newspaper) because I loved writing, but wanted to improve my ability to be concise and work on a deadline. I joined the Black & White because journalistic writing very quickly became a passion.

Why are you well suited to write/edit for your section or to perform your job?

I wrote extensively for the newspaper as a news writer last year, and completed a program at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism over the summer. Both experiences have pushed me to consider a career in journalism, something I hope my role in leadership here on staff will propel me towards.
