Greenville police say an East Carolina University bus struck multiple cars this morning on 10th Street, before crashing into a utility pole.

Police say the bus first hit between 5 and 8 vehicles at 10th and Charles Blvd. The bus continued for another two blocks before witnesses say it jumped the curb and slammed into a utility pole in front of Starbucks.

Police say the bus driver, who is an ECU student, had some type of medical emergency. The university says there were two student passengers on board the bus when the accident happened.
