Mecklenburg Medic is on scene with several units at a vehicle crash involving a CATS bus on West Tyvola Road and Tyvola Center Drive.

Just after 4:00 p.m., CMPD reported West Tyvola Road is shutdown in both directions. WBTV Traffic recommends drivers take West Arrowood Road as an alternate route.

The crash was reported at 3:30 p.m. CATS tells WBTV the bus was attempting to make a stop, and a tractor-trailer rear-ended it. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are investigating.

Medic reports nine people were taken to the area hospitals, but are expected to be OK.
