Officers confirmed that the bus driver collided with an SUV, then hit a pair of parked cars across the street before crossing four lanes and crashing into the home.

The removal of the bus that evening left a hole in the house and extensive damage to the living room.

Messages have been reportedly left for the school bus company, Alltown, but none were not returned at the time of this writing. Police say a ticket was issued for improper lane usage, but it was unclear if it was given to the bus driver or the driver of the SUV.
