Westborough, MA : Three people trapped after van collides with bus in Westborough on Wednesday afternoon, March 2, 2016

An 80-year-old woman sustained life-threatening injuries late Wednesday afternoon after her van hit a school bus in Westborough, according to a statement from Westborough police.

Police responded to the crash on West Main Street, near Westborough Country Club, at about 4:30 p.m. Upon arrival, police found three people trapped in the van, which was partially underneath the school bus. No students were on the bus at the time of the accident, according to police.

Two passengers, 79-year-old Ronald White, of Plymouth, and an 11-year-old girl, were removed from the van and transported to UMass Medical to be treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.

It took Westborough and Northborough fire departments, with assistance from a towing company, about two hours to extract the van’s driver, Desiree White, of Plymouth, from the crash, according to police.

She was treated by paramedics and a Life Flight helicopter team at the scene before being transported to UMass Medical.

According to police, the school bus had just dropped off its last student from Assabet Valley High School, and was pulling out of a parking lot when it was struck by the van. Police at the scene said “the solar glare was blinding.”
