SOMERSET, Pa. — A Somerset County Head Start bus was involved in an accident with a CSX train on Pleasant Avenue in Somerset at 1:21 p.m. Wednesday.
No one was injured when the school bus, which was traveling north, was clipped by the train. Somerset Borough police said the tracks run directly beside Pleasant Avenue and there is very little space between the roadway and the tracks.
The bus sustained minor damage and was driven from the scene. There were children on board when the accident occurred.
