The Boston Globe reports that last 11 children were taken to Boston area hospitals last Thursday afternoon after the school bus they were riding on experienced an engine malfunction in Dorchester.
The brakes on the school bus reportedly began smoking due to the malfunction. Fire officials responded to the scene of the 3:25 p.m. incident, which took place on Dorchester Avenue. The students were transported to the two Boston hospitals as a precaution and no injuries were reported.
If authorities determine that the engine malfunctioned because of defective parts, the manufacturer of the parts may be found liable for the malfunction. Officials are continuing to investigate the incident.
