Rensselaerville, NY (October 27, 2025) – A reckless crash occurred on State Route 145 in Rensselaerville, Albany County, when a 20-year-old driver crashed into a school bus that was carrying five children on Monday morning.
At approximately 7:25 a.m. on October 27th, 2025, Curtis L. Williams of Rensselaer was driving at a high rate of speed when his vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a Middleburgh Central School District bus. The bus was carrying five children, an adult attendant, and the driver, but thankfully, there were no serious injuries.
Witnesses reported seeing the reckless driving moments before the collision, and authorities confirmed that the crash was caused by Williams’ high-speed driving.
The accident could have been far worse, but the quick actions of the bus driver and attendant prevented a potential tragedy. All occupants of the bus were safely removed from the vehicle and taken to a nearby location for evaluation.
