Route Hazards
• Immediate steps are being taken to remove hazards to
school bus transportation in Robeson County. Action in
cludes cutting of weeds obstructing vision along school bus
routes and re-routing of school buses so as to avoid the pos-
sibility of overloading.
The action came on the heels of
last week’s school bus tragedy in
Nash County in which seven chil
dren were killed and several oth
ers injured. The Nash County
wreck occurred when the bus hit
an ice truck on a blind curve,
where vision was said to be ob
scured by heavy growths of weeds
and bushes on either side of the
road.
Robeson County School Supt.
B. E. Littlefield said that the
county office had requested
all principals and bus drivers
to report immediately on all
buses that are carrying a load
beyond its legal capacity.
He also said drivers have been
asked to make detailed reports
concerning visibility and other
danger factors along their routes.
Steps will be taken immediately
to correct all hazards reported,
Supt. Littlefield said.
“It is a fact that some of the
county’s 135 school buses have
been running overloaded,” he de
clared, “but we are going to
remedy this immediately by sche-
dulTg these buses for as many
runs daily as are necessary to
eliminate overloading. It may
cause some slight inconvenience
but safety is more important than
convenience,” the school head em-
