This Thursday, November 21, in the early morning, an accident involving a school bus and a light vehicle occurred at the entrance to Senliswhen we come from Creil. The bus carried around thirtystudents of Robert and Nelly de Rothschild vocational high schoolhas Saint Maximin.

According to various testimonies, the driver of a Renault Kangoo who was traveling in the / Senlis direction lost control of the vehicle as he arrived in the royal city. His vehicle hit the school bus which was traveling in the Senlis / Creil direction. Taken in by emergency services, the driver of the Kangoo, a 22-year-old man, is said to be seriously injured. He had to be extricated by firefighters.

The bus fortunately did not turn over

The bus left the road, on its right, and ended up in the ditch. But fortunately he didn't turn around. However, according to our information, several students suffered, at the very least, bruises. However, no student was seriously injured. The bus driver was also said to be unhurt. “The driver is exemplary, and with a lot of experience, he is a good colleague,” one of his professional acquaintances wrote on social networks.

Avenue de Creil was completely closed to traffic in both directions, from the Faisanderie roundabout to Avenue d'Orion. She should still be there for a good part of the day. Diversions have been put in place by the police.

A road that is inevitably slippery

We do not yet know the reasons for the loss of control of the Kangoo. But this Thursday morning, some roads were slippery due to the low temperatures recorded during much of the night.

The managers of the Robert and Nelly de Rothschild vocational high school sent a message to the parents of the students to inform them of the accident and to reassure them. “No serious injuries reported,” they wrote. The carrier ensures the return of students to the high school where they will be welcomed and taken care of.”

The condition of the Renault Kangoo testifies to the violence of the impact.
