A preliminary investigation revealed a Honda sedan "attempted an abrupt U-turn directly into the path of the coach."
OAKLAND, Calif. - Nine people were hospitalized on Thursday night after a car crashed into an AC Transit bus in Oakland.
AC Transit Media Affairs and Strategic Initiatives Manager Robert Lyles told KTVU that the crash occurred just before 6:30 p.m. near International Boulevard and 80th Avenue.
A preliminary investigation into the crash revealed that the bus was traveling northbound in the center bus-only lane when a Honda sedan driving in the lane beside "attempted an abrupt U-turn directly into the path of the coach," Lyles said.
"A total of nine individuals – eight on board the coach and the driver of the Honda – were transported from the scene by ambulance," Lyles said. "Although transported, there are no reports of severe or life-threatening injuries."
