Wave Transit bus involved in accident

A Wave Transit bus was involved in an accident Tuesday afternoon.

Witnesses said the bus was turning onto the MLK entrance ramp off 23rd Street, when it collided with a Toyota Camry.

No one was hurt, but the crash did cause hydraulic fluid to spill onto the road. The entrance ramp had to be shut down while crews cleaned it up.

The driver of the Camry said he was side-by-side with the bus when the accident happened. “It’s was in the right turning lane, I was in the straight lane. As that bus starts to turn right the next thing I feel is a little connection and my car being pulled to the right as well,” said Jean Paul Laurenceau.

Wave Transit officials declined to comment on the accident.

The company sent another bus to pick up passengers who were onboard during the incident.
