Bus promising to 'drive message home' drove into house

Eight people were injured when a public bus crashed into a central Massachusetts home on Monday evening, including a mother and her three children who were inside at the time.

All were taken to the hospital for minor injuries, according to Chief Stephen Coleman of the Auburn Fire Department.



Coleman said that it took an hour and 15 minutes to free the driver, describing the extrication as "very lengthy and complicated."

The side of the bus was emblazoned with a pitch for advertising opportunities reading: "Drive Your Message Home with the Worcester Regional Transportation Authority." The cause of the crash is under investigation.
