Aerial and ground footage from the scene showed what looked like a Mini Cooper with serious front end damage that appeared to have struck a school bus.

The driver of the car was also taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Belmont Street reopened around 9:45 a.m.
Police said solar glare is believed to have contributed to the crash.
