A wild school bus crash that police said sent a child to the hospital was caught on video Monday morning in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The bus can be seen veering onto the curb on Charles Street about 7 a.m. Monday. The bus hit a power pole, knocking out power to homes in the immediate area, and ended up in a house.
Fall River police said several students and a bus monitor were on board the bus when it crashed, and a 12-year-old was taken to a hospital with a minor back injury.
The driver, who hasn't been identified, received two citations, including a marked lane violation, police said. A representative from the bus company declined to comment Monday afternoon.
