School Bus, Taxi Collide Near Philadelphia College Campus

A school bus, taxi and another car collided at a Philadelphia intersection Friday morning leaving people in multiple vehicles hurt.

The wreck caused traffic troubles at W Chew and W Olney avenues – that’s right by La Salle University – around 10:15 a.m.

Medics transported at least two people from the scene to Einstein Medical Center with undisclosed injuries. The Germantown Cab Co. taxi driver said that medics took the bus driver and someone from the other vehicle from the scene.

The vehicles, which included the taxi and Cora Services bus, blocked the roadway as crews worked to clear the scene. The taxi had damage to the driver side of the car.

The taxi driver, who wasn't hurt, told NBC10 he was turning onto Chew when the bus -- with no children on board -- crashed into him.
