CHICAGO (CBS) -- Multiple people were taken to area hospitals Monday afternoon in an accident involving a school bus and a CTA bus at 79th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.

Just after 4 p.m., witnesses told police a Chicago Transit Authority bus struck a black vehicle, and then a school bus.

Neither the school bus nor the CTA bus appeared severely damaged in video from Chopper 2. A CTA tow truck later came to tow the CTA bus away.
