A crash involving a New York State Police patrol vehicle and an Arlington School District bus killed an adult aide and injured two students, the bus driver and a state police officer, troopers said.
The motor vehicle crash occurred at around 3:12 p.m. on State Route 55 and South Cross Road in LaGrange, state police said in a statement.
The adult aide was pronounced deceased at the scene by responding LaGrange Fire District paramedics, troopers said. Two adult students who were on the bus at the time of the crash were taken to the MidHudson Regional Hospital and expected to survive, according to state police.
The bus driver and a state trooper were also transported to area hospitals with injuries.
The school district said on its website on Tuesday the collision involved an Arlington minibus transporting two students. The district canceled Tuesday evening's Board of Education meeting.
A statement from the district said that counselors were being made available for staff members, bus workers and students.
The investigation remains ongoing. Police said updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
