Witnesses say a black pickup ran a stop sign on Runnels, the bus tried to avoid it and then swerved into the sign. “It was just chaotic, like everyone was running for cover, people were trying to get people off the bus and you could hear sirens everywhere,” said Massa Mohawk, who was riding his bike near the scene when the crash happened.
