Driverless bus collides with a wall, cause unexplained - Unidentified Cause Leads to Young Passengers Toppling Within an Autonomous School Bus

In the central Hessian town of Gladenbach, a school bus incident occurred, leaving one boy with minor injuries. The bus, carrying seven children aged 11 and 12, collided with a solid wall in front of a residential garden, traveling approximately 50 to 100 meters.

The wall sustained significant damage, and the police estimate the total damage at around 25,000 euros. The incident happened on a sloping street, and the bus was no longer roadworthy, needing to be towed away.

Based on current information, the 46-year-old bus driver was outside the bus at the time of the incident. The cause of the school bus moving on its own is currently unknown. A forensic expert has been commissioned to reconstruct the incident.

The injured 11-year-old boy was handed over to his parents. No further details about the bus or the school are provided in the text. The police have not released any information about the number of children on the bus during the incident, beyond the mentioned seven.

No new information is provided about the identity of the driver or the number of children injured beyond the 11-year-old boy. The school bus started moving without a driver, and no information is available about any injuries or damages resulting from the incident, beyond the minor injuries sustained by the 11-year-old boy.

The bus driver involved in the Gladenbach accident before starting his vacation was a 46-year-old man. No additional details about the driver's identity have been released. The police are currently investigating the cause of the accident.
