At least 10 people were injured Sunday evening when officials say a car plowed into the back of a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia, causing a seven-car, chain-reaction pileup behind it.
SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams said the Route 60 bus was stopped at 7th Street and Allegheny Avenue shortly after 7 p.m., when the first car rear-ended it, causing the pileup. She said one person on the bus was taken to an area hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Fire officials said nine additional victims of the crash were taken to area hospitals to be treated for injuries. No fatalities were reported around 8 p.m.

Seriously, numerous people have told me they WISH they in an accident involving a Septa bus because then they could retire.— misiadelphia- oh yes, 8 of the 10 people injured will get free money...only 2 of the 10 are really hurt.— deatheater
- In other news, dozens of ambulance chasing Philadelphia lawyers were injured falling over each other racing to the scene to sign up those with severe mental anguish.— Wilhelm Von Humboldt
- I was in a SEPTA bus accident and one person had her knee cut open by the fire extinguisher at the front of the bus. I'm betting that of the 10 people on the bus, 30 filed injury suits with SEPTA. (I did get a city map out of it for telling what happened and I hope they used my recount of the incident to tell the other 29 or so to get lost.)— SweetnessAndLight
Before SEPTA began taking passenger's ID after an accident more people than could possibly have fit on a bus sued and won money. The settlements were usually only a few grand, enough for a long weekend with the crack pipe.— Ralph 1

- You might think 10 people were hurt, but every person that lives anywhere near Kensington is going to have some lawyer claim that they were on that bus and suffered an injury.— drbob1
- I think SEPTA is cracking down on fraudulent injury claims. Didn't someone get arrested for it? I hope anyone caught lying faces severe penalties.— Loves To Comment
