Building Collapses On Souderton School Bus: Report

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- A building collapsed on a school bus used by the Souderton School District on Thursday in Philadelphia.

No injuries were reported.

The bus driver had just dropped off students from Vernfield Elementary School in Telford at the National Constitution Center when the incident occurred on nearby Race Street, according to a report.

The bus driver, Spencer Reynolds, reportedly said he was stuck in traffic when he heard rumbling, some windows shatter, and glass and debris crash into the bus.

The building, which comprises the block from Fourth to Fifth Streets on Race, is a former textile factory, according to The Intelligencer.

Students might have been injured had they been on the bus during the collapse, although most of the building slab that fell came down away from the bus.
