Officials Say Bus Crashed Through Home in New York State

An early Monday morning crash in New York state has resulted in several passengers being sent to the hospital. But while stories of cars and trucks crashing into structures in residential areas are nothing really new, it isn't too often you hear of a bus going into a home.

Some of the causes of these crashes can vary from human error, to some drivers even suffering some sort of medical emergency while behind the wheel.

Offcials say they are currently investigating all of the circumstances that lead to the driver losing control of the vehicle, causing the crash in the small town of Sheridan, New York.
