School Bus Involved in Crash in Hartford

A high school student was taken to the hospital to be evaluated after a school bus and a garbage truck collided at Farmington and Girard avenues in Hartford on Friday morning.

School officials said one special education student was on the bus, which was stopped, when a Hartford city garbage vehicle tried to pass the bus slowly.

However, the lane was too narrow and the garbage vehicle "tapped" the bus.

One student was on the bus and the teen's parents asked that he be taken to the hospital and checked out as a precaution.

The bus is back in service.
