A school bus with children headed to a school for the deaf and a dump truck collided in Wilmington, Delaware Friday morning leaving multiple people in each vehicle hurt.
The bus and truck crashed at D and Heald streets around 7:50 a.m., Wilmington firefighters said.
The Christiana School District bus was bound for the Delaware School for the Deaf and came to rest against a pole, firefighters said.
The school bus driver, an aide and one minor student were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, firefighters said.
Firefighters extricated a passenger from the dump truck -- its windshield and front end smashed -- and transported her to the hospital.
"When I got to the dump truck I noticed they were bleeding, really bad, the lady was pinned underneath the dashboard," Witness Rodney Harmon said.
Harmon and others called 911 and emergency responders quickly arrived.
