At around 4 a.m. the bus collided with a sedan that was heading north on Rodgers Avenue. Authorities say both drivers claimed they had the right of way.
The school bus jumped the curb and hit the front of a building on Clarkson Avenue, officials said.
Thankfully, no students were on the bus and no injuries were reported.
Both the bus driver and the sedan driver refused medical attention.
