The principal of a Toronto school is tweeting from New York’s Lincoln Tunnel where an excursion bus with 25 Grade Eight students from Bedford Park Public School was rear-ended. Everyone is okay. The principal is Kevin Battaglia @kevinbattaglia1 on Twitter and in his first message called the rear end accident “a little excitement.” Bedford Park School is at 81 Ranleigh Ave. Ryan Bird of the Toronto and District School Board confirmed these facts and said it appears the Bedford-leased bus is quite operable and will be on its way shortly. Mr. Battalgia is being swamped by media tweets requesting interviews as can be seen by checking his account above. His report does not agree with information from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey which operates the tunnel. This body is saying that as many as 18 people were hurt, but not in a serious way. These injuries may have been on the New Jersey transit bus which hit the Bedford bus.
