A collision between a CARTA bus and a car early Monday afternoon at Carter and West Main Streets sent eight people, including one with serious injuries, to Erlanger hospital.
Two people were in the car, while the bus included the driver and 21 passengers, a Chattanooga Fire Department new release stated.
Firefighters had to use the “Jaws of Life” and other equipment to remove one of the car’s occupants, Lt. Jack Babb said in the release.
Chattanooga Fire Department spokesman Bruce Garner said it wasn’t immediately clear whether it was the driver or the passenger of the vehicle who was trapped.
