SEPTA bus, vehicle collide in Fern Rock; drivers report injuries

A Route 4 SEPTA bus was hit by another vehicle in Fern Rock Saturday morning, injuring the drivers of both vehicles, a SEPTA spokesman said.

The injuries did not appear life-threatening, Andrew Busch said.

The accident happened about 10 a.m. as the Route 4 bus, which had just begun its route from the Fern Rock Transportation Center, was heading south on 10th Street, approaching Olney Avenue. No passengers were on board, Busch said.

A preliminary report indicates that the driver of a passenger vehicle struck the bus in the front, either at or near the intersection, Busch said.

He said he believed the two drivers were being transported to hospitals, but did not immediately have further information on their injuries.

The accident is under investigation, he said.
