Passengers on a city bus were
delayed on their trips today when a car crashed into their
bus.
About 10:15 a.m., a Chrysler
Sebring was headed west on Fillmore Street when the driver,
Kimberly Armstrong, 23, stepped on her brakes and slid through a red light at
the Cascade intersection. The Sebring hit the city bus which was headed south on
North Cascade
Avenue.
None of the 10 passengers on the bus were injured in the crash, which snarled traffic for more than ahour,
according to Colorado Springs police Officer Paul Meeks.
Armstrong was ticketed for running a red light. Meeks said the slick streets Thursday morning were a contributing factor in the crash.
