SUSSEX COUNTY, NJ — A school bus carrying children snapped a utility pole Tuesday morning after it got caught up in downed wires, according to authorities.

Around 6:45 a.m., police were called to Mount Salem Road in Wantage Township on a report of an accident involving a school bus.

Authorities found that a Yellow Thompson school bus, carrying six students, had struck wires hanging from a utility pole.

The wires had wrapped around the bus, and the utility pole snapped due to the force of the bus pulling the wires, police said.
