A driver of a van collided with a ColumBUS Friday afternoon, injuring several people.

Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police, says that 22-year-old Jordan Patterson was headed south on Lindsey Street at almost 6 p.m. Friday evening, when he ran a red light and hit a bus at Eighth Street. The bus was being driven by 46-year-old Randall Clark of Jonesville.

Three people in the van, including Patterson, were taken to Columbus Regional Hospital to be treated for cuts and scrapes. A passenger on the bus was also taken to the hospital with head injuries, Harris said.

Both vehicles were heavily damaged and had to be towed from the scene.
