UPDATE: School Bus Driver 'At Fault' for Collision

A driver has been found “at fault” for an accident involving two Algonquin Regional High School buses on Tuesday afternoon.

Matthew J. Nolan, 63, 26 Woodridge Road, Holden, has been cited for failure to use care and caution in stopping, as well as failing to keep 100 feet away from a school bus, said Westborough Police.

The two buses that transported students from Algonquin Regional High School collided on Tuesday afternoon on Lyman Street in Westborough.

Westborough police got a call around 2:14 p.m. for a report of an accident on Lyman Street at Chauncy Street.

One bus stopped to allow a student off at Chauncy Street when a second bus behind it collided into the back end, said police. The second bus sustained significant front end damage.

Both buses were filled with students headed home from school, and were checked out by the school nurse as well as the Westborough Fire Paramedics, who determined there were no injuries. All the students were transferred to another bus or sent home with parents at the scene.

Medford driver Jean R. Chatelain, 61, 20 Winsor Road, operated the first bus and the second was driven by Nolan.

Both buses are owned by First Student Inc.
