Always grateful for our first responders 🖤💛🖤

Traffic Crash Involving Oxford City School Bus.

At approximately 3:23 p.m., the Oxford Police Department responded to a traffic crash at the intersection of U.S. 78 and Dearmanville Road involving two vehicles and an Oxford City School bus. Oxford Fire and the Oxford Healthcare Authority also responded to the scene.

The investigation determined that the crash involved two vehicles in the intersection. One of the vehicles subsequently struck the front bumper of a school bus that was stopped at the stop sign on Dearmanville Road.

No students were transported from the scene, and there are currently no reports of injuries among the students on the bus.

The drivers of both other vehicles were transported to a medical facility for treatment.

🚓🚒🚑 Happy First Responders Day!

One of the things we love about Oxford and our extended community is how involved our first responders are in the lives of our kids.

You'll find them in our classrooms teaching students, on the sidelines at games, at school events and just about everywhere in between.

They're more than the people we call when we need help. They're familiar faces, mentors, supporters and an important part of our Yellow Jacket family.

We're fortunate to live in a community where our first responders play such an active role in helping raise and support our kids.

Thank you for all you do 💛🖤
