COLLIER COUNTY, FLA-- Hitting fences in gated communities, backing into parked cars, and getting stuck in the drive thru of a fast food restaurant are just some of the accidents Call for Action investigation uncovered in Collier County School District.

"We're very serious about safety. It's our priority," said Collier County Transportation Director Jeff Stauring.

Collier County buses take 20 thousand students to and from school. With that many busses on the road, accidents are bound to happen.

In the last two years, Collier County school buses were involved in 32 accidents.

Many of them minor, but some were embarrassing for the district.

One Collier driver tried to take her bus through the drive-thru at Steak and Shake. The bus got caught in the low clearance and broke the siding off the building.

The driver went through a refresher driving course where the instructor discussed why busses shouldn't go through drive-thrus.

"That's a case of an undisciplined driver not doing what he was supposed to do and not being in the places he was assigned to be in," said Safety Manager Charles Benson. He noticed a trend of minor accidents last year.

In one accident, the driver tried to go around a dumptruck turning right but misjudged the size of the truck and hit it.

In separate accident, the driver made a right hand turn. Then in the middle of the intersection, backed the bus up into a dodge truck.

In yet another crash, the driver tried to cross an intersection in front of a mack truck. Luckily no kids were on board.

In fact Collier drivers found themselves in many close calls.

An internal email Call for Action obtained through open records laws reveals the extent of the problem.

After one crash a manager wrote, "Our accident numbers have to come down this year. We had several drivers with several accidents (back to back) last year. Some with two in a 30 day period."

Remember the driver who was involved in that accident with the dump truck?

Six months later, he backed up into a parked minivan.

From fences closing on buses in gated communities, to an accident where a driver hit and peeled back a guard rail.

Collier received plenty of wake up calls--and took action.

"We actually compared our safe driver plan with other districts," said Stauring.

The district instituted a more stringent point system for drivers to get drivers with repeated accidents off the road quicker.

"The first job we have is safety and we take that very serious and that's what our point system is all about. Make sure we have guidelines to go by and everyone understand that. Looking back at last year we did notice a trent and we're noticing a trend right now," said Stauring.

The district didn't stop there. Transportation supervisors are hitting the streets -- to observe bus drivers.

"This week primarily I'm taking out supervisors. Taking them on the road, showing them some of the things I've noticed out there. There are so many things happening that could potentially cause an accident," said Benson.

He hopes to point out problems before they cause smash-ups.

"We're just trying to be proactive and avoid any hazardous situations from arising," said Benson.

The Florida Department of education requires school district to report crash information.
