Car hits school bus in Port Richmond

A charter school bus carrying 25 children was rear-ended by a car Monday afternoon in the city's Port Richmond section, but none of the students were hurt, officials said.

The bus was transporting students from Maritime Academy Charter School when it was hit by a car around 4 p.m. in the 4100 block of Richmond Street, said School District spokeswoman Deirdre Darragh.

The occupants of the car were initially reported with minor injuries, but refused to be treated. The children were taken home by another bus. The accident is under investigation.
