Milwaukee Police responded to a crash that ended with a school bus in a building near Holton and Locust.

There were no kids on the Lamers Bus Line vehicle. Police say a truck pulling a trailer disregarded a stop light and crashed into the school bus, which was making a left turn. The impact of the crash caused the bus to hit a third vehicle before crashing into the building.

The driver of the truck was ticketed.

"I didn't get hurt. It just was a little shocking that’s all," said Kevin Brown whose car was hit by the bus.

The owner of the building and pastor at the church Iglesia Genesis, Angel Rosario, says this is not the first time a car has crashed into it.

"I thought about moving, but I can’t. This is a great area. We preach the word here and try to help people as much as we can, but I don’t want to move," Rosario stated.
