One injured in bus, truck collision
One person was injured when a school bus transporting children and a pickup truck collided at the intersection of Southpointe Boulevard and Morganza Road Saturday afternoon.
Cecil and Peters Township volunteer fire departments and SouthBridge Emergency Management Services responded to reports of an accident with a possibly trapped driver around 1:20 p.m. Saturday, said Chief Noel McMullen, fire chief and emergency management coordinator for Cecil Township.
When crews arrived, the school bus carrying more than a dozen children had pulled into a nearby parking lot.
The driver of the other vehicle was trapped, with the driver’s side door having been crushed on impact.
Crews were able to quickly rescue the man, who sustained minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to a Pittsburgh area hospital, McMullen said.
None of the school bus passengers nor the driver was injured.
It was not revealed whether the bus was associated with a school district, church or other organization, and no details on where the bus was headed were released.
