A 39-year-old Grand Rapids woman was hospitalized Wednesday afternoon after her SUV ran a red light and struck a Forest Hills Public Schools bus at a busy intersection on the eastern edge of Grand Rapids. Students and the bus driver were unharmed.

The Crash

The collision occurred at East Beltline Avenue and 3 Mile Road around 12:09 p.m. on June 3, according to Michigan State Police.

Troopers said the SUV was traveling south on East Beltline when it entered the intersection against a red light. The school bus was traveling east on 3 Mile Road at the time of the impact.

Several children were aboard the bus. State police confirmed that the bus driver and all students were not injured.

The driver of the SUV was taken to the hospital for treatment. Fox 17 reported the woman is expected to survive.

Investigation Underway

Michigan State Police are investigating the cause of the crash. Troopers issued a statement online about the incident.

"This incident serves as an important reminder to obey traffic signals and remain attentive while driving. Thankfully, this crash did not result in serious injuries, but it could have had a much different outcome."

The investigation is ongoing.

Why It Matters

East Beltline and 3 Mile Road is a high-traffic corridor. The intersection sits near the boundary where Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids, and Grand Rapids Township meet. School buses and commuter traffic share the road daily.

Forest Hills Public Schools has not yet issued a statement about whether bus routes were disrupted following the crash.
