Bus takes wrong students for a field trip
May 21st, 2010 - 8:11 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLittle Ferry, May 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There was panic in a school bus and on the school campus, when the driver of the bus took the students to an amusement park instead of the school campus. The students started calling their parents and the school authorities when the driver failed to stop, even though there were repeated pleas to do so from the students.
The mix up came about when the driver mistook the High School students instead of seventh and eighth graders. The seventh and eighth graders were to be picked at 9 am for a field trip, but the driver showed up much earlier than that, at 7:45 am on Wednesdays. The bus was supposed to take the students to Six Flags Great Adventure.
The driver later realized the mix up, due to the pressure of the students and then turned the bus around, to take the students to the school. But before he could get the students back to school, the police stopped the bus and an officer rode with them to the school. The police got to know about the situation when school authorities called the police, after the distress call from the students.
No one was hurt in the situation.
