HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A METRO bus was involved in a wreck near downtown, and police say there are more than 30 people injured.
The accident happened just before 1:30pm near 2200 Runnels. Authorities say a pickup truck traveling westbound on Runnels ran a stop sign and crashed into the bus that was going northbound on Chartres, forcing the bus into a freeway sign.
