A car stopped for a Dexter Community School bus was flipped on its side when it was rear-ended by another vehicle, police said.
The bus was stopped with its lights on indicating students were getting off when one vehicle struck the other vehicle from behind, causing a rollover, said Sgt. Geoff Fox of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
There were no injuries. The Dexter Area Fire Department responded to the accident at 4:11 p.m. Wednesday in the 4200 block of North Territorial Road, said firefighter Ed Root.
Lucia Smerage's son, Dexter High School student Alec, was on the bus and captured an image of the red truck on its side.
"Debris from the accident hit the bus, but apparently no one was hurt," Smerage wrote in an email to AnnArbor.com. "It seems like a good time to remind people to stop for a bus that is unloading children."
