DALLAS (AP) - Three people were hurt, including one who's been hospitalized, after a car slammed into the side of a Dallas transit bus, sending it careening into a column fronting a new office building.
A spokesman for Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which operates the Dallas-area bus and commuter rail system, says the worst injury from the 4 p.m. Monday crash was an open fracture to a woman's right leg. The other two injuries were treated at the scene.
DART spokesman Morgan Lyons says the bus was traveling in the westbound frontage road of Woodall Rogers Freeway - Spur 366 - when a car southbound on Olive Street ran a red light and slammed into its side. The impact sent the bus through a traffic-light standard and into the building column.
