Urges Community to Rally Together to Support Families of those Killed or Hurt

PARAMUS, NJ – Mayor Rich LaBarbiera is releasing the following statement in the aftermath of a deadly school bus accident that killed a Paramus 5th grade student and a teacher and left dozens of people with serious injuries:

“Today, our community was shaken by a horrific accident resulting in two tragic, senseless deaths of a teacher and a student. As a father of three sons, I cannot fathom the level of pain and despair that the family of the student whose life was lost is feeling, and the loved ones of the teacher who also died are in the same horrific situation. I ask all members of our Paramus community to keep the deceased and wounded and their families in their prayers as we work collectively to recover from this tragedy. This is a time when neighbors must look after neighbors and we must come together as one family, and I am certain that this is exactly what will happen because Paramus is a place where people truly care for each other.”
