A SEPTA bus became an unexpected target of a wayward car Saturday evening in North Philly, resulting in several injuries. The incident, which unfolded around 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of North Broad Street and Lindley Avenue, saw a car collide with a Route J bus after the vehicle reportedly careered onto the sidewalk, as per 6abc.com.

Officials confirmed that the car involved in the collision attempted to veer back onto the road before striking the bus. Witnesses observed three men from the sedan fleeing on foot post-crash. This hit-and-run has now turned streets once filled with the mundane rhythm of city transit into a scene of investigation and alarm, with authorities urging any individuals with information to come forward.

The driver of the SEPTA bus and several passengers were among the injured, although it is believed that all sustained injuries are non-life-threatening. A report obtained by NBC Philadelphia detailed the number of passengers aboard during the incident and the actions following the crash, including the treatment of one individual at Einstein Medical Center for evaluation.

While the police have yet to determine the exact motive behind the unfortunate incident, the investigation continues to uncover why the sedan found its path swerving into the sidewalk, and consequently, into the public transit vehicle. The sedan has been confirmed to not have been reported stolen, an important detail as officials piece together the narratives leading up to, and follows the events that transpired on that North Philly corner.
