A van collided with a school bus last week, injuring two people in the bus in Brownsville, FL.

A witness to the accident says that the van sideswiped the bus when the van was turning the corner from Green Street onto West Avery. "I ran up there to see if anyone was hurt then called 911," the witness said. "People do at least 40 [mph] around this corner every day. It's dangerous." The witness was standing outside of his home when the accident occurred.

Two people were injured in the accident, the bus driver's assistant and a high school student. The extent of their injuries was not immediately apparent. Emergency medical services took the two injured persons to Sacred Heart Hospital, and the responding authorities arrested the driver of the van. It is suspected that the driver of the van was under the influence of alcohol.
