“The driver thought the bus was parked and was trying to get the mobility aid ramp down when the bus started rolling away and crashed into the vehicles and a tree,” Buttle said.

He said one victim, who was not identified, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of a possible open fracture to the right shin. Market Street was closed in both directions following the crash. -City News Service
