A 55-year old man driving a truck with a trailer full of lawn equipment attached, slammed into the bus. This happened around four p.m. on May 26, 2011.
There were around 40 students on the bus and none of them were injured! The school bus driver is the only one who was hurt, with non-life threatening injuries.
No news about the truck driver's condition, only that he will be charged with reckless driving.
Over all, the outcome could have been so much worse, and all those involved were very lucky.
Let us all use this example as a reminder, when we drive it is not only ourselves at risk but all of the people on the rode with us. Make good and safe choices, because if you crash you may not be as lucky as these people were.
Thank you,

A New Reason for Drivers to be Healthy?
We believe that sitting around and doing nothing all day is unhealthy. It just makes sense, but what if I told you it has been proven?
In a recent 14-year study it was found that sitting for long periods of time can raise the mortality rate of a person. This Study started with 53,000 men and 70,000 woman. At the start of the study all the people were disease-free.
Over the span of this study, 11,300 of the men died and 8,000 woman. Isn't that startling? They found that sitting for more that six hours a day will raise the mortality rate of a person. More so for men than for woman.
I found this information to be very interesting. I knew sitting around was bad, but I didn't know just how bad it really was or really could be.
Just thought I would let you know about this study and how sitting may be affecting you.

Driver Who Hit a School Bus is Charged with a DUI (Moncks Corner, South Carolina)
A bus was struck along with one other vehicle by a truck who was trying to pass on a two-lane road. The truck driver cut quickly back into his lane and hit the two on the side, causing the truck to flip over. The truck driver was flown to a hospital and charged with a DUI. He was also out on bail and had a court-ordered ankle monitor while waiting for his other trial. No details on his official condition were given. The school bus and the other vehicle had no injuries! The children that were aboard were simply taken home on another bus.
Not everyone follows the rules of the road. Those that don't either end up hurting themselves or others. The kids on that bus and the driver of the other vehicle were very lucky today...on the other hand the man driving the truck that hit them wasn't.
We at Hoglund Transportation would like to remind everyone that even though it's you breaking the rules someone else might have to pay for it. Drive safe, and if you would like to know more about the incident click on the title to open the link.

A Car Rear Ended a School Bus in Village of Arlington WI.
At 6:36 am today, a school bus was driving down USH 51-60. While slowing down to make a turn, a car that was also traveling down 51-60 failed to slow down and rear-ended the school bus.
The person driving the car had serious injuries and was transported to the hospital via Med Flight. Luckily the school bus driver and the two remaining children did not receive any injuries. They were very fortunate.
We at Hoglund Transportation implore you to pay attention while driving. Especially if you know there is a school bus in the vicinity. There is too much at risk when people fail to pay attention. If you would like to read more about this story please click on the title and read the link.

In the News...
In the news....
A man in Ohio is pitching in and helping children in his neighborhood. He noticed that the children were waiting for the bus while cars were rushing by. He decided to step up and take action.
Since the bus stops in front of his house, he built a little stop for them. It has a bench and even some landscaping. This setup has had great reviews by the people in his neighborhood.
"People who live in the community should do things for the children" says Collier.
We wanted to recognize this man and use him as an example. He went beyond what was asked of him. He did something for the children and their safety.
If you want to read more about this, you can click on "In the News" and it will bring you to the article.
What can you do for the children in your neighborhood?
Take turns watching the kids at the stop. It is easy and it will reduce any risks that could be present.
Thank you.
