Campus Briefs: Buses collide at Skytop intersection

Two buses collided on South Campus, resulting in one minor injury on Tuesday morning.

A Centro bus and a Crouse-Irving commuter bus collided at the intersection of Skytop Road and Winding Ridge around 9 a.m., said Capt. Drew Buske, of Syracuse University’s Public Safety.

The Centro driver stopped at a stop sign, looked both ways, but didn’t see the commuter bus, which was traveling south-bound on Skytop Road. The commuter bus driver told police he didn’t see the Centro bus coming either, Buske said.

It is not known for certain if students were on either bus, but Buske said he assumed there were SU students aboard the Centro bus.

Buske said after the two buses collided, the commuter bus driver complained of neck pain and went to Crouse Hospital for further treatment. No passengers were injured.



The Syracuse Police Department, Syracuse Fire Department and Public Safety all responded to the incident. The accident was cleaned up by 10 a.m., Buske said.
