First responders were called to the scene of a crash at a bus stop near Sahara Avenue and Sandhill Road on Friday morning.
The crash was reported shortly before 8 a.m.
Two women were at the bus stop during the crash. One was trapped by debris for about 10 minutes after the crash. She was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver who hit the bus stop said he was swerving to avoid a truck that turned in front of him. Police are reportedly looking for the truck driver.
"It seemed like forever but it could've been five minutes," said Eduardo Gutierrez, who crashed into the bus stop.
He hoped the women hit would be OK.
