Milwaukee County Bus Crashes Through Harley Davidson Gates
At Least 7 People Injured In Bus Crash
MILWAUKEE -- Police and loved ones rushed to Harley Davidson Saturday morning, after a bus crashed through the main gates at the Harley Davidson headquarters.
The bus was traveling westbound on 37th and Highland Avenue when witnesses said "a mini-van cut in front of the bus."
"The driver didn't have enough time to stop and when he swerved to avoid the van he slammed right through the brick and iron fence surrounding Harley Davidson's headquarters," the passengers said.
The van ended up hitting a tree.
The front door of the bus was smashed in, so rescue crews entered through the back door to help passengers.
At least seven people were injured, including someone in the mini-van.
A number of people on the bus were taken to the hospital on stretchers.
Elizabeth Sheriff was on the bus when it crashed through the gate. She hurt her wrist but unlike numerous other passengers didn't go to the hospital.
"The front window shattered and it was cutting people and stuff, it was crazy," bus passenger, Sheriff, said
After making sure the passengers were not critically hurt the bus driver called his wife and told her what happened.
"He said the car had cut in front of him when I talked to him when I made it here, he said a car cut in front of him and he had no other choice. He said the car was speeding, when it cut in front of him," the bus driver's wife Regina Anderson said.
Passengers in the bus say the crash was a scary experience.
A family member of two bus passengers, Omar Williams raced to the scene to check on his daughter and grandson.
"One of the firemen just came off and he said my grandson is fine, so my daughter has the sprained ankle so far," Williams said.
