Unpredictable Bus Accident Injures Sanger, Texas School Children After Football Game
After a hose on a school bus broke, antifreeze was sprayed on six kids who were coming home from an away middle school football game. The freak personal injury accident happened in Denton County just before 10 p.m. last night when the Sanger Middle School football team was on its way home from a game.
Four of the six who were sprayed were taken by helicopter to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas—all with very scary injuries. Three had eye injuries and one had burns on both legs. As of now, there’s no update on whether anyone else was injured or treated.
There seems to be some confusion on whether the injured were on the bus or outside next to it when they were sprayed—either way, this accident is a perfect example of wrong place, wrong time.
Antifreeze, a chemical which is used to protect air-conditioning systems from freezing or boiling over, is poisonous to ingest, but not to the touch. The problem in this case was that the chemical was boiling hot, which was actually what caused the injuries.
I’m sure an investigation must be pending on how (I assume was) a pipe with poisonous matter would break or malfunction and endanger school children. I can’t wait to hear what the problem was and I hope all those children will fully recover.
