Greyhound Bus Accident Injures Dozens in Oklahoma City
A Greyhound bus slammed into the back of a street sweeper early on Wednesday morning while traveling east through Oklahoma City. At least 13 passengers, as well as the drivers of both vehicles, were rushed by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment following the accident. Fortunately, none of the injuries was life-threatening.
