About 20 youths and adults suffered minor injuries in a collision involving two school buses yesterday on Interstate 95 just south of the Greenwich line, New York State Police said.
Sgt. John Maasz said the collision resulted in "a lot of injured people, (with) mostly bumps and bruises."
The crash occurred near Exit 2 at 3:10 p.m. Two buses were traveling in the right lane when the first bus rear-ended a Ford Explorer and the second bus hit the first one, according to N.Y. State Trooper Angel Rosado. Minor injuries were suffered by passengers in both buses, who were apparently children and staff returning from a summer camp field trip, Rosado said.
Rescue units responded from as far away as Stamford and White Plains, N.Y., Rosado said.
About 50 police could be seen at the scene of the crash.
The Greenwich Police Department sent two medic supervisors and transported a total of seven people to Greenwich Hospital, with minor injuries, according to the Greenwich Police Department...

Greenwich legislature candidates lean toward public campaign financing
With public funding of elections available for the first time this year in Connecticut, four of the six candidates on the General Assembly ballot in Greenwich are accepting taxpayer money for their campaigns outright or are leaning toward doing so.
In the 151st House District race, both Republican Alfred Camillo and Democrat Edward Krumeich Jr. applied for grants from the Citizens' Election Fund.
So did Mark Diamond, the Democratic Senate hopeful in the 36th District, which includes Greenwich and parts of Stamford and New Canaan.
State Rep. Lile Gibbons, R-150th District, who is running unopposed for re-election, said she will probably go the same route.
State Rep. Livvy Floren, R-149th Distict, who is also uncontested, and 36th District Republican Senate candidate L. Scott Frantz are not accepting public funding.
