Midlothian, VA : One person killed after a Chesterfield school bus and car collided on Tuesday, February 3, 2015

A Midlothian man apparently driving out of his neighborhood was killed Tuesday morning when his car collided with a Chesterfield County school bus as he was turning left into the northbound lanes of Old Hundred Road, police said.
Noel R. Santos, 26, who lived in the nearby Creekpointe apartment complex, was pronounced dead at the scene after his vehicle became wedged underneath the bus, which was en route to Greenfield Elementary School. The four Chesterfield grade-school students on board and their driver were unharmed.
Chesterfield police spokeswoman Liz Caroon said the 8:30 a.m. crash occurred as the school bus was traveling south on Old Hundred Road. As the bus passed through the Creekpointe Circle intersection, it struck the driver’s side of Santos’ white Toyota Corolla, which was turning left to head north on Old Hundred Road.
The impact of the crash pushed the car some distance before both vehicles came to a stop.
Paramedics responded and a Med-Flight helicopter was called, but Santos — the only occupant of the vehicle — died before he could be transported, authorities said.
Santos was married and a father of three who celebrated his 26th birthday last month, according to a memorial fund established in his name on the web-based GiveForward fundraising site.
The children on the school bus — described by Chesterfield Fire & EMS spokesman Lt. Jason Elmore as gifted elementary students at the Center-Based Gifted Program at Greenfield — were later taken to the school.
The Chesterfield police traffic crash team continues to investigate Tuesday’s wreck.
Fatal crashes involving school buses are rare in Virginia. Between 2008 and 2014, an average of 3.7 fatal crashes occurred involving buses and other vehicles or pedestrians, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The large majority of the 26 fatal crashes, which killed 29 people, during that period involved deaths of pedestrians or occupants of vehicles that collided with the buses. Only two school bus occupants — both drivers — were killed over the seven-year period, both in 2008, state statistics show.
