At least 14 people were injured Friday in yet another collision on International Blvd. in Oakland, this time involving two drivers and a bus. "At 4:55 p.m. Friday, March 8, an AC Transit Bus Operator reported a head-on collision with a passenger vehicle at 54th Avenue and International Boulevard," explained Robert Lyles, a spokesperson for AC Transit. Apparently, the crash involved a Blue Chrysler 300 "heading Southbound on International Boulevard at a still undetermined speed. Simultaneously, [the driver of] a Toyota Prius, also in the Southbound lanes of International, apparently attempted to make a left turn onto 54th Avenue."
