Bay Area Bus Crashes Into Home, Injuring 11 People
A commuter bus in Richmond, Calif. was hit by a stolen Honda on Friday evening, causing the bus to swerve into an area home, injuring eleven people. Police say none have serious injuries.
After a man stole a Honda and learned he was being followed by the police, he sped up, which resulted in the car clipping the side of the bus. The bus was then forced to swerve, ending up in the living room of a local home.
The three people inside the home — the mother, a 3-month-old baby and a 5-year-old girl — were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police Lt. Andre Hill told several media outlets.
The bus missed the baby, who was sitting alone in a bouncy chair in the living room, by just a few feet.
The driver of the stolen car was able to get away on foot, but his brother was arrested by police. The driver of the bus, as well as seven other passengers, were taken to the hospital to treat minor injuries.
