The 68-year-old driver of a car that collided with the bus at Robinson Avenue was taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital complaining of pain, according to police. As a precaution, the 43 students on the bus were examined by local firefighters but none reported being injured, police said. They were taken to school on another bus after being examined, Detective Lt. David Dawes said. The cause of the 7:30 a.m. accident remains under investigation. The accident occurred as the bus was turning left from Robinson Avenue west onto Commonwealth Avenue. The car was heading east on Commonwealth Avenue, Dawes said. The car, which sustained scratches and dents on its front end and hood, was towed from the scene. The bus sustained minor damage and was later driven away. Police detoured traffic to side streets around the scene of the accident for about 45 minutes.
