Greenwich Bus Crash: 10 Adults Sent To Hospitals

GREENWICH, CT — Ten adults were transported to area hospitals with injuries following a serious crash involving two buses Tuesday afternoon, Greenwich Police said. A Countrywide Transportation bus and a Royal Coach Lines school bus collided around 3 p.m. on King Street in Greenwich, police said.

According to Lieutenant John Slusarz, none of the 10 adults' injuries appear to be life-threatening.

A preliminary investigation determined one bus was traveling northbound and the other was traveling southbound when they collided, Slusarz said in an email.

The Countrywide Transportation vehicle was occupied by nine people and the Royal Coach Lines school bus was only occupied by the driver, Slusarz said. Several people stopped to help the injured occupants while emergency crews responded to the area.

According to the Greenwich Time, some of the injured passengers were taken to Stamford Hospital. Police Capt. Kraig Gray told the Greenwich Time that some of the injuries included "broken bones, contusions, head strikes."

Police said King Street, which was closed in both directions as officers investigated, had reopened as of 6:40 p.m.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Sergeant Patrick Smyth of the Department's Traffic Section at 203-622-8015.
