SAN ANTONIO -- Four people sustained minor injuries Thursday morning when a three-vehicle accident sent a VIA bus into a house.

A woman driving a Nissan Altima south on Allende Drive did not see a stop sign covered by tree leaves and drove into the intersection with Ceralvo Street, where she hit a Chevrolet Trailblazer headed eastbound, police said.

The SUV was pushed head-on into the bus, which only had one passenger, police said. The bus hit a mailbox and plowed through fencing into a house in the 2600 block of Ceralvo, which was damaged, police said.

It was unclear whether anyone was in the house when the bus crashed into it after 6:30 a.m., but the only people injured were in vehicles, police said.

The drivers of both cars, a small boy in the Altima and the bus passenger were all injured, but not seriously. No one was immediately cited.

A gas line that feeds the house was ruptured and CPS Energy crews arrived to the scene Thursday morning to shut the line down.
