East Aurora, NY (January 25, 2026) – A motor vehicle accident involving a school bus occurred on Saturday at the intersection of Mill Rd and Blakeley Rd in East Aurora, with injuries reported among those involved. Emergency response was delayed as authorities prioritized notifying parents of students on board.
Crews from local fire and EMS units responded to the scene following reports of the crash, which involved a school bus and at least one other vehicle. Paramedics evaluated those on board the bus, including children, and provided treatment for minor to moderate injuries. Several individuals required further medical attention, though officials have not confirmed the number of people transported to local facilities.
The crash prompted immediate safety concerns and coordination with school officials, which delayed public reporting until parents had been contacted. The school bus sustained visible damage, and the intersection remained partially closed for an extended period while responders cleared the area and investigated the cause.
Local authorities are continuing to review the incident and assess whether driver error or road conditions played a role in the collision. No charges or citations have been reported at this time.
