Pasadena Unified Student Injured in Fatal Northern California Bus Crash

A total of four students from the Pasadena Unified School District were on a trip to Humboldt State University that suffered a bus crash in Orland, Calif. on Thursday evening.

CNN reports that 10 died in that accident.

Pasadena Unified reported this morning that only one Pasadena Unified student was on the bus involved in the accident and that the student suffered leg injuries.

Three students from Marshall Fundamental School were on the trip.  The other two were not on the bus that crashed.

A student from Blair High School was also on the trip but not on the bus that was involved in the accident.

CNN reports that two buses from the Los Angeles area were en route Thursday evening to Humboldt State University in Arcata when a FedEx truck crossed a median and slammed head-on into one of the buses.

Lt. Bruce Carpenter with the California Highway Patrol said the collision killed both drivers, five students and three chaperones.

“Our hearts go out to the victims of this tragedy,” said PUSD Superintendent Jon Gundry. “Counseling services will be made available to the students involved and any other students who might need somebody to talk to.”
