NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA - October 19, 2009 (WPVI) -- A car collided with a SEPTA bus, causing a separate crash Monday morning in Northeast Philadelphia.

The accident happened around 9:00 when a car hit the Route 14 bus at the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue.
The accident involving the bus caused another accident in the area - two cars also collided at the same intersection
Two minor injuries were reported, however it is not clear what vehicle the injuries came from. Both victims were transported to area hospitals.
There are no delays on the Route 14 at this time.

Did you notice that majority of SEPTA's accident have been involved with a "van" For Example: 5786 & 8074

Maybe it's time to change the graphics again to bring the reflective striping into the middle of the vehicle. This would be an added safety feature to equipment passing through intersections.
