The driver of a car that hit a school bus in Bristol Township’s Croydon section on Monday morning has been cited.
The vehicle that struck the big yellow school bus after it pulled out of Glen Hollow Apartments onto Newport Road and crossed over the center line, hitting the front of the bus straight on, Sgt. Chuck Burns said. “That vehicle then bounced off the school bus and struck another vehicle,” he added.
