ARDMORE, Ala. (AP) — A Greyhound bus and a car collided on a northern Alabama road, killing a man and injuring the bus driver and eight bus passengers, authorities said Tuesday.
The crash happened shortly after 10 p.m. Monday, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.
Sidney C. Benson, 23, of Ardmore, Alabama, was killed in the wreck. Authorities said the bus struck Benson’s SUV. The bus then left the road and overturned.
