Thirteen passengers were injured when a bus collided with a gravel big rig and potentially another vehicle Wednesday morning in Santa Clarita, authorities confirmed.
Law enforcement officials provided few details, but video footage provided by KTLA showed a Santa Clarita Transit bus on its side near the corner of Golden Valley Road and Centre Pointe Parkway.
Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel responded to a call of a mass casualty event around 9:30 a.m.
The department confirmed that 13 individuals were injured. One person is listed in critical condition and is being treated at a hospital.
The bulk of the bus’ damage was to its side, according to photos from the scene. Part of the big rig was also on its side while the front end sustained damage.
The front wheels of the trailer appear to be on top of an unidentified sedan, which also suffered front-end damage.
Santa Clarita Transit officials did not immediately return a call, but the department issued an alert on social media regarding closures.
All eastbound trips near the intersection are detouring as delays are expected.
