Student Injured in Hill District Bus Accident
May 31, 2007

A girl was injured yesterday in the Hill District when a minivan collided with a school bus filled with 21 students from the Rogers Middle School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Garfield.

Police said the bus was about half full when the van apparently hit the rear of the car around 4:45 p.m. The van's driver told police that the bus came to an abrupt stop at Wylie and Herron avenues.

The student was taken to Children's Hospital after complaining of pain, police said.

Around the same time yesterday afternoon, a car collided with a Port Authority bus at Forbes Avenue and Jumonville Street. The car was fleeing gunfire, police said. No one was injured in that incident.
