No one was seriously hurt.

The bus was removed around 3:00 p.m.  The bridge has reopened to traffic.

There's a very visible sign showing the clearance under the bridge is 9 feet. The city buses are anywhere from 10 1/2 to 13 feet tall.

Transportation authorities are trying to figure out why the driver, a 16-year veteran, tried to drive through there.
