INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – An intersection near I-465 on the west side of Indianapolis is closed after a crash involving two passenger vehicles and a Wayne Township school bus.
At around 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a crash at the corner of 10th Street and Vinewood Avenue, just west of I-465.
When officers arrived, they found an overturned silver SUV and a black sedan with heavy front-end damage directly in front of the Wayne Township school bus.
Students and a bus driver were on the bus at the time, but no one was injured, said Jeannine Templeman, communications director for MSD of Wayne Township.
In a statement to News 8, Templeman said the bus was “not directly involved in the accident.”
According to Templeman, the bus was at the intersection at the time of the accident.
“The actual collision occurred between two other vehicles: an SUV turning left and another vehicle. One of the vehicles came to a stop near our bus after the collision. Our bus sustained only minimal damage, limited to a mirror.”
All students will be examined on site and handed over to their parents or taken to school on another bus.
IMPD did not say whether anyone in the passenger vehicle was injured, but IMPD spokesman Tommy Thompson told News 8 he was not aware of any injuries.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
