HYANNIS, Mass. — A bus driver and a passenger were hospitalized after his vehicle crashed into several utility poles and then into a building on Tuesday morning.
Officers responding to the area of Route 28 in Hyannis near the Cape Cod Mall around 10:04 a.m. for a report of a motor vehicle crash found a Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority bus traveling east had crashed into a building, according to Barnstable Police.
The driver and a passenger were both transported to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries that are not considered to be life-threatening.
Authorities say the bus driver suffered a medical event, causing the vehicle to veer off the road, taking down two poles, and eventually slamming into a home improvement store. Part of Route 28 had to be shut down while emergency crews surveyed the damage.
A parked car in the lot was also damaged during the crash.
No further information was immediately available.
