December 5, 2025

Dear Princeton Families of the students on First Student Bus 45 and community members, 

We want to inform you of an accident involving a school bus this afternoon, Friday, December 5, 2025. The bus was not at fault and has been released from the scene.

First Student Bus 45 was taking Princeton Community Middle School students home from school on Hauck Road, near The Enclave, when the accident occurred. There were 18 students aboard the bus at the time of the accident. There were no reported injuries on-site, according to Sharonville Firefighters who responded and checked the students.

The school bus was released and is taking students home. This may delay your child’s arrival home from school. 

We are contacting the families of the students involved and will communicate the necessary information. 

Your child’s safety is our number one priority at Princeton City Schools. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jon Fricke, Director of Operations, or the First Student Transportation Department at 513-554-0105.
