An international bus carrying 32 elementary school children collided with a truck in Osowiec near Grodzisk Mazowiecki on Monday, resulting in minor injuries for eleven children and hospitalizations for two adults. The crash on Mazowiecka Street involved a total of 37 occupants, prompting a large response from local emergency services, including eight fire brigades and an air ambulance helicopter.
Emergency Response and Patient Transport at the Osowiec Crash Site
The collision occurred at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Monday on Mazowiecka Street, according to details provided by junior aspiring officer Rafał Łyszkowski, press officer for the District Commander of the State Fire Service in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. The bus was transporting 32 children aged 10 to 11, four caregivers, and the driver. Emergency personnel treated eleven children on site for minor abrasions and bruises. Two adults sustained more serious injuries requiring hospital treatment. According to Łyszkowski, one caregiver was transported to the hospital by ambulance, while the driver was admitted to a hospital ward with a wrist injury. An air ambulance helicopter landed at the scene but ultimately departed without a patient onboard. Local firefighters dispatched eight units to secure the crash site and assist with medical triage.
Road Closures and Student Transfer Operations
Following the collision, Mazowiecka Street was completely blocked to traffic near its intersection with Dębowa Street as emergency crews cleared the wreckage and investigated the cause of the crash. Transportation officials deployed a replacement bus to the scene to pick up the uninjured and mildly affected children. The backup vehicle transported the students directly to their school, where parents and legal guardians gathered to collect them.
