Aldine students kick off school year with bus crash

So yesterday, the first day of school for Aldine ISD, a bus full of middle school students was involved in a hit-and-run accident. Does anyone else out there think this is a karmic thing related to starting school in early August, or are we the only ones?

It happened at about 4 p.m. near West Road and Sweetwater when a van hit a wrecker, which then veered into the side of a bus with around 35 or 40 Stovall Middle School students on board. "The van then left the scene," Aldine Assistant Superintendent Ben Wilson said. "As far as we understand it, it is a hit-and-run." Yep, sounds like it to us, too.

HPD and Aldine ISD police responded to the accident, the Chronicle reports. Fortunately, no one was injured.
