Port Barre, Louisiana truck wreck critically injures 3 kids

Posted on Dec 08, 2010

A wreck this week in Port Barre, Louisiana critically injured three young children, while 21 others recieved minor injuries. Sources investigating the wreck have said it involved one school bus and a big rig eighteen wheeler. The collision happened on a local Louisiana highway in the early morning hours when the children were being picked up from school. Police investigating the accident have released that they don't believe substances were involved in this wreck, and toxicology reports will not be run.

Gilfred Savoy Jr. was driving the 1990 school bus, and was en route to the school to drop off 21 kids when the wreck occurred. He was traveling on highway 90 in between Port Barre, Louisiana and Opelousas. Savoy had 21 children on board the bus and was picking up another child when the eighteen wheeler came up from behind. Apparently the school bus had all warning lights activated, but the driver of the big rig did not see them. David Cox's truck went colliding into the back of the bus in an area with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour.

Three children on the bus were critically injured, and had to be taken from the scene via helicopter. 18 other children, and Savoy received moderate to minor injuries from the accident. The driver of the eighteen wheeler recieved minor injuries in the crash. The investigations into this accident continue as police investigators gather evidence, and charges have not yet been made. However, they are expected to come as a result from the injuries to the children becomes clear, and as more information is gathered.
