A police cruiser and a school bus were involved in two separate accidents after the bomb threat at Rindge Memorial School on Wednesday, according to police records.
The first accident occurred at about 1 p.m. at the intersection of Route 119 and Cathedral Road, according to a NH State Police press release.
A 2010 state police cruiser, driven by Sgt. Kevin Oxford, of Keene, was driving westbound on Route 119, when a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass, driven by Catherine Moore, of Antrim, traveled from Cathedral Road and collided with the cruiser.
Moore and her passenger, Patricia Long, of Bennington, were transported to Monadock Community Hospital, where they were treated with non-life threatening injuries. Sgt. Oxford was treated on scene for non-life threatening injuries. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
Ten minutes later, a second accident occurred at the same intersection.
A school bus, operated by Nicole Sesia, 23, of Rindge, was backing up to allow emergency personnel, when she struck a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, driven by Jaclyn Creighton, 29, of New Ipswich. Sesia told Rindge police that she did not see the vehicle behind her.
There was one student on the bus. No injuries were reported.
