In an email to Shrewsbury Public Schools staff and families shared with the Community Advocate, the district said that the bus was unoccupied at the time of the crash, which took place near Coolidge Elementary School.

At the scene near May Street, there was a SUV with damage to the front of the vehicle. The bumper was nearly detached from the SUV.
An A.A. Transportation bus was on the sidewalk and had damage to the front portion.
As of about 1:30 p.m., crews were still responding to the crash.
