CRESTVIEW — A crossing guard and four students are injured following two Sept. 16 traffic accidents.
Henry Kelley, the Okaloosa County School District’s Office of Community Affairs program director, said one accident involved a crossing guard at Walker Elementary School.
"An employee — a trained crossing guard wearing proper safety gear — was struck by a car in front of Walker and transported to a hospital."
Kelley did not disclose the employee’s name and current condition.
In addition, a bus crash north of Crestview High School resulted in some injuries.
"Bob Sikes Elementary bus No. 0014 was involved in an accident," Kelley said. "Four students were transported to the hospital with minor scrapes. A second bus was immediately dispatched.
"All parents of students on the bus were contacted by school officials, and they are either at home or were released to their parents at the scene."
