Vehicle catches fire after colliding with bus in Lyndon Township
A vehicle caught fire after colliding with a bus on Roe Road in Lyndon Township Tuesday afternoon and it wasn't immediately clear if anyone was injured.
Huron Valley Ambulance spokeswoman Joyce Williams said emergency crews were called at 3:43 p.m. Tuesday to Roe Road near Cassidy Road for a report of a motor vehicle crash. Williams said a bus and a vehicle had collided in the area.
After the crash, the vehicle caught fire and the people inside the bus had to be evacuated. The fire only lasted a short time and was out by 4:01 p.m.
Williams said the one HVA unit dispatched to the crash was canceled before it arrived and no one was reported injured on the bus.
Officials from the Chelsea Area Fire Authority had not returned from the crash and could not be reached by AnnArbor.com immediately Tuesday.
Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Geoffrey Fox confirmed no one on the bus was injured but said it wasn't clear if anyone in the car was injured. He said the bus might have been from the Chelsea Area Schools, as the call came in from Chelsea transportation.
