Multiple roads were flooded in Port St. Lucie on Thursday after storms dumped heavy rain across the Treasure Coast, causing a school bus to get stuck in the floodwaters.
The school bus became stuck in a ditch at the intersection of California Boulevard at Beard Street.
St. Lucie County Public Schools spokeswoman Lydia Martin said all students and the bus driver are safe.
Another bus was being sent to the area to finish the route and take students safely home.
Luis Decarmine is a seventh grade student at Oak Hammock. He could not believe the outcome of the rain.
WPTV“I’d never think that this would happen,” stated Decarmine. “When it heavy rains it just floods a little bit of the lake, but I never thought it was up to knees high.”
He said his friends who take the bus were on edge about the severe weather.
“I was texting them and they were like yeah it’s really bad,” shared Decarmine. “The bus driver is freaking out but thankfully most of them are okay.”
