Fairfield police are investigating a school bus crash into a home this afternoon that injured the driver and a driver in another vehicle.
Police said at 1:50 p.m. a bus hit a house at 455 Magie Ave., causing major structural damage to the residence.
The driver of the school bus was trapped briefly and transported to Mercy Hospital of Fairfield. There were two other people on the bus at the time of the crash — an aide and an eighth-grade student, police said.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the westbound school bus collided with a 1998 Chevy Silverado that was northbound on Redwood Drive prior to striking the house. The driver of the pickup truck was ejected from the vehicle, but suffered minor injuries, police said. He was transported to Mercy Hospital of Fairfield.
A young couple with two young children live in the home, according to Stephanie Adelsterger, who lives across the street.
The 20-month-old child’s grandmother was in house babysitting at time of accident, Adelsterger said, and the school bus crashed into the garage, just a few feet from where the child was playing.
No one inside the house was injured, she said.
Adelsterger said she hopes this accident will cause more people to obey the posted 25 miles per hour speed limit.
“Is that 25 miles an hour?” she asked, looking at her neighbor’s destroyed garage.
Police have not said if speed was a factor in the crash.
