A school bus crashed into a home in Western Springs Thursday morning in a harrowing incident all caught on camera.
Police said the driver of the bus crashed into a home around 6:30 a.m. in the 3800 block of Hampton Avenue while trying to avoid hitting an animal.
"The bus drove off the road and into a nearby house," authorities said in a release.
The driver was the only person on the bus at the time and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
The home suffered some cosmetic damage, but no structural damage was reported, police said.
The incident was captured on video by a neighbor's security camera.
In the footage, the bus is seen veering off the road and into the front lawn of the house before coming to a stop at the front of the home.
