3 Hurt After Car, Logan Express Bus Collide

CHELSEA (CBS) – Three people were hurt after a car slammed into a Logan Express bus in Chelsea early Monday morning.

There were no passengers on the Braintree line bus when a Nissan sedan ran into it at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Griffin Way shortly before 1 a.m.

The front of the car burst into flames. The driver and two passengers ended up with serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries.

Police said a third passenger in the Nissan ran away before officers arrived.

The driver, a 27-year-old man from Lynn, was charged with speeding. Officers say they also found a loaded gun inside the car.

No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
