The driver of the BMW reportedly cut off the bus, causing the bus to hit a K-Rail and the rear of the car, the CHP said.

Officers used flairs to cordon off the Nos. 3 and 4 lanes while they began their investigation and the transit bus was moved to the end of the Grand Avenue off-ramp at 3:06 a.m., clearing the freeway, the CHP said.

Video from the scene showed Los Angeles County firefighters checking bus passengers and CHP officers handcuffing a man and woman.
