ANSONIA >> A school bus was involved in a crash at Main and North Main streets in Ansonia Thursday afternoon, but none of the students aboard was injured, according to Lt. Andrew Cota of the Ansonia Police.
A bus was stopped at the corner and a car was stopped directly behind it when a third vehicle slammed into the car and pushed it partially under the bus, Cota said.
Some students from Emmett O’Brien Technical High School were reportedly checked at the scene for injuries as a precaution, according to NBC Connecticut.
Cota said the occupants of the middle vehicle were able to walk away from the scene, and the driver who caused the chain reaction was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for an evaluation.
The school bus was likely returning from a job site at which the O’Brien students were working, Cota said.
