Bus driver Mike Hilliard said a sports car “tried to cut me off” in the intersection of Chestnut and Grand on Friday afternoon. “I was watching him when the other car (the van) stopped in front of me,” Hilliard said. Joanne Curran, a spokeswoman for the Transit District, said that Hilliard and his eight passengers were not injured.
