A  Greyhound bus carrying passengers has collided with a flatbed truck near the Sterrettania Road exit on Interstate 90.

The accident happened just after 7 this morning. Emergency responders from area volunteer fire companies, paramedics and PA State Police have all converged on the scene.

The bus was coming from Cleveland and headed to Buffalo

Numerous injuries have been reported, most of them minor, however at least two people have been taken for treatment of head trauma....A Hazmat bus was called to transport passengers to the warming center.

We talked to passengers, some telling us they were extremely shaken up saying it was one of the scariest moments of their lives.

It took six crews over an hour to extracate the driver of the bus, the cause of the crash is still under investigation... crews will be taking the bus to a secure location to inspect the bus to make sure everything mechanically was working correctly.

The Community Bloodbank reports UPMC Hamot has requested additional blood .
