MESA, AZ — Police say several people were injured when a bus crashed into a Mesa home and several parked cars Monday night.
The incident occurred near Broadway Road and Stapley Drive around 6:30 p.m.
Officials say a Valley Metro bus crashed into several parked vehicles and a home after veering off the road to avoid another crash on the roadway.
Two people in the home at the time of the crash suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. One person in a vehicle on the property also suffered minor injuries.
Three bus passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and three other passengers were treated at the scene.
Police are searching for two people, a man and a woman, who took off on foot from a pickup truck involved in the crash. It's not known if those two people were hurt during the crash.
ABC15 spoke with neighbors who shared concerns, saying they hope the intersection can get some safety improvements.
“I feel like, maybe if they put a light here to try to help with incidents. But it’s just, it’s too many. I mean, this in itself is bad enough but in a three-year span to have multiple accidents… it’s not OK,” said April Ure.
The crash is under investigation.
