An Atlanta Public Schools bus with no passengers aboard overturned on a car after being struck on Metropolitan Parkway in southwest Atlanta, authorities said Thursday morning.

The bus driver was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, Willis Green said. There was no information on the driver’s condition.

No one else was injured in the crash.
