Metro Transit bus crashes near Lake Calhoun

Authorities are on the scene of a bus crash in Minneapolis.

A west-bound Metro Transit bus on west Lake Street near Lake Calhoun veered north into an embankment, where it was lodged Friday morning, said Metro Transit spokesman Drew Kerr.

Six passengers and the driver were aboard the bus, and all were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with minor injuries.

Kerr says it isn't clear what caused the accident. He said the bus didn't hit any other vehicles or cause any serious damage and crews are getting ready to tow it away.

An investigation into the incident is already underway, he added.
