A CDTA bus rolled down Congress Street and crashed into a light pole and a porch at a busy city intersection on Wednesday, leaving at least eight passengers with minor injuries, police said.

The bus driver and passengers were taken to the hospital with injuries that fire officials said were not life-threatening.

"We have no idea what caused the crash," Deputy Chief Eric McMahon said. "The injuries at this time appear to be all minor-type injuries."

The Capital District Transportation Authority bus had 15 passengers on board shortly before 8 a.m. when it hit a light pole at the intersection of Congress and 15th streets, then rolled into a porch on a building on Congress Street.

A second CDTA bus arrived at the scene to take on the remaining passengers. "Seven people stated they had no injuries and they jumped on another CDTA bus," McMahon said.

A portion of Congress Street was closed for a time after the wreck.
