It happened at about 1:50 p.m. on 68th Street, just north of State Street, in Wauwatosa.
The bus came to a complete stop after hitting a patch of bushes and trees, MCTS spokesman Matt Sliker told WISN 12 News.
Sliker said 13 passengers were on the bus and no injuries were reported, however Wauwatosa Police later tweeted that one minor injury was reported.
One of the passengers, Joshua Andlar, blamed the bus driver for the crash.
“He was going down the hill speeding at 30-plus mph while it’s snowing and all of a sudden, there’s a bunch of cars in front of us, and he has to press his brakes so hard,” Andlar said. “As he made that sharp left, the bus kind of leaned to the right and it could have flipped, it actually could have been worse than that.”
As of Friday morning, Jan. 8, 75 firefighter-paramedics with the Wauwatosa Fire Department received their first of two Moderna shots roughly 80% of the department.
