On the afternoon of March 30th at 3:37 p.m., GTAS responded to a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a school bus at the intersection of Moss Mill and Old Port Republic Road. GTAS responded and found two vehicles involved in the accident. The number of injuries required the activation of the Atlantic County EMS Task Force bringing in several ambulances from surrounding agencies, companies and townships. In total, 18 students and one adult were transported to area hospitals. Most injuries were minor but the driver of an SUV which struck the school bus was flown by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital. See the full story at The Press of Atlantic City.
