7 Hurt When MTA Bus Collides With Vehicle in Northridge Intersection

Seven people were injured Friday afternoon, including a woman and two young children, when an MTA bus collided with a car in Northridge, authorities said.

The accident happened about 3:30 p.m. at White Oak Avenue and Plummer Street, said Bob Collis of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

According to a preliminary investigation, two cars collided at the intersection, knocking one into the path of the bus, said Sgt. Kristie Romero of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Devonshire Division. The bus skidded, slamming into the car carrying the woman and the children.

The woman, who had to be extricated from her car, was listed in stable condition Friday night at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, according to a nurse supervisor. The children, a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old, were slightly hurt and were treated and released from local hospitals. Four people on the bus also suffered minor injuries, authorities said.
