Bus Carrying Princeton Students Crashes Into West Haven Building

WEST HAVEN, CT — A bus carrying Princeton students to the Princeton-Yale game crashed into a building in West Haven on Saturday morning, according to officials.

Four students suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital as a precaution, Princeton University said in a statement. The bus driver was hospitalized.

The bus crashed into a building on Campbell Avenue. The West Haven Police Department said to avoid the area of Campbell Avenue.

"It appears a coach style bus was exiting the I-95 northbound exit 43 ramp when it crossed the intersection without stopping and continued onto the property of Anderson glass where it came to a stop after colliding with the structure located in the parking lot," police said in a statement.

The students who were not injured are taking a different bus to the game, a police official told NBC.

Four of the five victims are listed in "good condition" at Yale-New Haven Hospital and a fifth person is in "fair condition," WTNH News 8 reports.

"With the well-being of our students and other travelers in mind, University officials from the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and many other departments are working to gather accurate information about what happened and to assist all those affected," Princeton said in the statement.

Family members seeking information can call the Department of Public Safety at 609-258-1000.
