Holy smokes. Another school bus accident in Brooklyn.

            
            
            
            A mini school bus overturned in Brooklyn this morning leaving seven people hurt, including five students.

The bus was on its way to Xaverian High School at around 9 a.m.
when it overturned on 71st Street at Narrows Avenue in Bay Ridge.

The school says the bus was making a turn onto 71st Street when it
was clipped by a minivan. Neighbors say drivers often speed through the
intersection.

"It’s ironic because I had just emailed the mayor yesterday about
the problems with the driving around here," said one area resident.
"The way that the kids and the parents drive recklessly and too
quickly. It’s a school zone, technically it should be 15 miles an hour
and no one adheres to that."

The Fire Department says the students, the driver and the bus matron were taken to Lutheran Hospital with minor injuries.

There’s no word on what happened to the minivan or its driver.

The bus is owned by Gotham Transport Corporation.
