Miraculously all 43 injuries were extremely minor injuries. In addition the Liberty Township Police have ticketed the driver of the bus. State police said the bus driver, Ralph Alicea from Fallsburg-based Rolling V Bus Corp. was going too fast down the steep hill where Ferndale-Loomis Road meets Ferndale Road.–YW Editor.

The bus landed just yards from where a bus load of girls from an Orthodox girls’ camp crashed in 2004. “Enough is enough,” said Liberty Supervisor Frank DeMayo. “We know of four incidents where (vehicles) have gone into that creek.”

Councilman Maurice Gerry said he’d like to see better signage, and maybe a blinking light to augment the “stop ahead” sign the town posted on the Ferndale-Loomis Road hill after the 2004 crash.

“This goes on all year long,” he said. “You should hear them squeal down the road.”
