That’s when the vehicle struck the right side of the bus, sending it crashing into a home.

“I hear a big boom,” the homeowner said. That’s when the front of the bus got wedged into their bedroom window.

The school bus was reportedly on its way to pick up students attending summer school. Officials said no students were on board the bus when the crash occurred.
