PITTSBURGH — Edgebrook Avenue was briefly closed Friday afternoon due to a school bus accident.

According to a Pittsburgh Public Schools spokesperson, the bus was transporting 15 students to Pittsburgh Carmalt K-8.

Channel 11 News learned that a vehicle crashed into the front of the ABC Transit bus at the intersection with Route 51.
