Three people have been injured after the car they were riding in was rear-ended by an Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the OCTA bus was merging onto the eastbound 22 freeway when it crashed into the back of an Acura sedan, pushing it into a Ford Mustang. The Mustang was then pushed into a pickup. The crash occurred just east of the Harbor Boulevard exit. The CHP said the inattentive OCTA bus driver had not noticed that traffic had slowed on the freeway entry ramp.
Three people were transported to local hospitals for treatment of unspecified injuries. An investigation into the OCTA bus crash is still ongoing.
