An accident involving two Rose Hill Middle School (RHMS) students in Redmond on Wednesday near the school resulted in no serious injuries, according to the Lake Washington School District.
Redmond Police responded to the call at about 1 p.m. at a crosswalk on 140th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 74th Street while children were leaving the school, located at 13505 N.E. 75th St. A school bus full of students was stopped at the scene and witnessed police responding to the accident, in which the two students on foot were struck by a car driving 30 mph or more, according to Janessa Rosick, Redmond Police public information officer.
Fire and aid responders were called to the scene and transported one student to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland for a possible broken arm.
The school sent out the following email after they learned of the accident:
Dear Parents,On the bus ride home today, your student may have witnessed a car accident involving RHMS students. This was upsetting to many students and they may want to talk with you about this. Their bus driver did an excellent job of remaining calm and calling for help. I will provide further information as I am able and want to thank you for providing extra TLC to your sons and daughters tonight.
Sincerely,Erin Bowser, RHMS principal
