Railroad Crossing Arm Goes Through LA School Bus Windows

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles authorities say nobody was hurt when a railroad track crossing arm crashed through a passenger window of a school bus and came out a window on the other side.

City Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott tells KNX Radio the crossing arm and some broken glass ended up on the lap of one student on board.

The accident was reported around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday southeast of downtown.

Scott didn't know how many kids were on board or which school they attended.

Television images showed an occupant sitting calmly in the bus, which was stopped nearly parallel to the tracks. The crossing arm is bent and sticking through the bus.
