Bus crash hurts 2 pedestrians, 26 riders

Police are investigating a crash that occurred in Yeadon, Delaware County, at around 6:20 p.m. Sunday.

Andrew Busch, a SEPTA spokesman, said a Route 113 bus was traveling south on Lansdowne Avenue when a Jeep Liberty turned left off of Providence Road and collided with the bus.

Two adults near the site of the collision were hit by the bus and were in critical condition at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Busch said.

There were 26 SEPTA passengers on board, all of whom sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The collision caused extensive front-end damage to the bus.

No other details were available, and Yeadon Borough Police were investigating, he said.

Search for body near N.J. yacht club

Authorities were searching the Delaware River near Bordentown on Sunday for the body of a man who apparently jumped out of a boat to swim in the morning and did not come back up.

Sgt. First Class Gregory Williams of the New Jersey State Police said authorities received a call around 7 a.m. about a man overboard near the Bordentown Yacht Club. Williams said he did not have information about the man - such as his name or age - or whether he had any affiliation with the club.

Williams also said he did not know what type of boat the man was on or who was with him, though he did not believe the man was alone when he jumped in the river to swim.

New Jersey State Police, the Trenton Fire Department, and the U.S. Coast Guard were all involved in the search, Williams said. Police were using sonar technology and aviation units to search the river.

Williams said Sunday afternoon that the search was being classified as a recovery effort, not rescue, because it was unlikely that the man would have survived a full day in the water.
