A two-vehicle collision that sent an SUV into a home where propane was stored resulted in injuries but no harm to students.
An Arlington public schools’ sport utility vehicle was headed from Lexington to Arlington via Route 2A when it was struck by another vehicle about 12:10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20. The collision caused the Arlington vehicle to exit the roadway and crash into a building on Lowell Street in Lexington, an Arlington news release said.
New England Cable News reported the vehicle struck a propane tank and caused a leak, which has since been mitigated.
The town release reported two Arlington school-bus drivers were aboard the SUV, one driving and one as a passenger, and both were taken to an area hospital for examination, but they were not seriously harmed.
NECN reported three injured.
There were no children aboard at the time, the town release said. The vehicle was driving through Lexington on an errand to pick up replacement parts for a school bus when the incident occurred.
“We are grateful that our drivers appear to be OK and were not more seriously injured,” Superintendent Kathleen Bodie said in a statement. “Arlington Public Schools will fully cooperate with Lexington police in their investigation.”
