San Joaquin County, CA (March 18, 2025) – A school bus and another vehicle were involved in a crash Tuesday morning at the intersection of West Ripon Road and Alice Road, just south of Manteca. The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at approximately 7:21 a.m.
Incident Details: Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the crash. Initial reports indicate that the bus belonged to the Ripon Unified School District. There were possible minor injuries reported, though details about the occupants and their conditions remain unclear. Officials have not stated whether speed, driver error, or road conditions played a role in the collision.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: Crashes involving school buses raise important safety and liability concerns. Investigators will likely review whether either driver was at fault, if the bus was following proper safety protocols, and whether any mechanical failures contributed to the incident. If negligence is found, injured parties may have grounds for a personal injury claim to seek compensation for medical expenses and other damages.
I hope for a full recovery for anyone injured in this accident.
