We also saw scary school bus crashes this week where some children had pain but avoided any type of serious injury.
How about the insane trend of gas prices skyrocketing seemingly, and sometimes literally, overnight giving drivers everywhere agita.
As a way of trying to ease the financial pain of that particular story, there were nearly 80 gas stations in North, Central, and South Jersey who set out to lower prices for one day as a way of helping bring attention and awareness to how much lower gas prices could be for everyone if lawmakers in Trenton instituted self-serve gas as at least an option in New Jersey.
On top of that, many moms and dads are trying to find baby formula after a big problem with a shortage and recall this week.
There was a lot that happened this week.
10. No serious injuries in two bus crashes
There were a couple of scary accidents involving school buses this week but thankfully, serious injury was avoided. On Wednesday, a bus rear ended another vehicle which hit the vehicle in front of it in Vineland. In Jackson that same day, a school bus rear ended a dump truck on Toms River Road. The truck had stopped short, police said, so that it wouldn't hit the vehicle that pulled out in front of it.
