Westbrook woman charged after SUV collides with school bus carrying 19 children

Westbrook authorities announced that Annemarie Napolitano, 40, has been charged with operating under the influence, aggravated criminal mischief and breaching release conditions after a collision on Friday morning. The incident occurred around 9:35 a.m. on 93 County Road when her SUV crossed the center line and impacted the front driver’s side corner of a Bonny Eagle school bus. The vehicle then struck the bus’s side and nearly hit another car before stopping on the roadside.

The bus was carrying 19 children, ages four to twelve, along with five staff members. A few children complained of pain and were examined by the Westbrook Fire Department, but no one was taken to a hospital. First responders arrived promptly, and the police department filed the charges later on Tuesday.
