CINCINNATI — A Metro bus and the Cincinnati Connector streetcar collided on Monday at the intersection of 9th Street and Walnut, according to police at the scene.
According to a spokesperson with Cincinnati Metro, the bus driver hit the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian that ran in front of it. When that happened, the streetcar rear-ended the Metro bus, the spokesperson said.
Three people were injured in the crash and transported to the hospital, but police said their injuries were minor. Police did not say whether those people were passengers on the streetcar or on the Metro bus.
The crash caused damage to the Connector streetcar, including body damage to one of the ends of the car. Despite this, there were no announcements made by Metro or the city on any impact the crash might have on the streetcar's usability or overall impact on riders.
WCPO has reached out to officials with Metro and will update this story when more information becomes available.
