SEPTA bus crash on westbound I-76 injures 5, snarls morning commute in Philadelphia

A SEPTA driver and four passengers were hurt when the bus they were on was involved in a crash on westbound Interstate 76 in Philadelphia, blocking several lanes during the morning rush hour.

The crash happened shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday near the on-ramp from Montgomery Drive, just south of the Strawberry Mansion Bridge.

Crews could be seen removing the bus's windshield as it was being hooked up to a tow truck.

The bus driver sustained a cut to the face, and four passengers were transported to a hospital with minor injuries, a SEPTA spokesperson said.

We're working to determine what caused this crash and when the road will be cleared.

One lane is getting through.
