MESA, Ariz. (AP) A man has suffered life-threatening injuries after his car struck a school bus stopped on a Mesa street.
Mesa police spokesman Steven Berry says the 50-year-old man was driving a van Wednesday morning and failed to break behind the bus on Broadway Road.
Berry says the driver is listed in critical condition at a local hospital.
A 17-year-old girl was also taken to the hospital as a precaution after hitting her head on the bus.
