Car, school bus collide Tuesday morning in central Topeka

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - No serious injuries were being reported Tuesday morning after a car and school bus collided in central Topeka.

The crash was reported around 9:45 a.m. at S.W. 9th and Lane.

Police at the scene told 13 NEWS a silver Dodge Dart was traveling north in the 900 block of S.W. Lane -- a one-way street carrying northbound traffic -- when it made “an improper left turn” in front of the Kansas Central School Bus, which also was northbound on Lane.

The impact spun the Dodge around and it came to rest facing south along the west curb on Lane, just north of S.W. 9th.

The Dodge had substantial damage to its driver’s side.

The school bus, whose only occupant was the driver, was able to be driven from the scene.

Kansas Central School Bus provides transportation for students in Topeka Unified School District 501.

Police said no one in either vehicle required ambulance transportation to the hospital.

However, police said an occupant in the Dodge possibly was going to seek treatment later.
