NJ elementary school bus went missing for nearly an hour

Authorities and district officials immediately jumped into action when a school bus full of children disappeared for nearly an hour while en route to a New Jersey elementary school.

The bus was taking children to Mt. Horeb School in Warren Township Thursday morning but never made it to its destination, the district and police said in a statement.

“School and district officials immediately begin working with the district’s transportation vendor and the Warren Township Police Department to locate the bus,” the statement read.

The bus was found a short time later. District superintendent Matthew Mingle and Warren police chief William Keane said in the statement that the driver, who has not been identified, had suffered a medical emergency and became disoriented. The driver “left Warren and pulled into a parking lot in Bridgewater,” a township about 6 miles from the school.
