Collision kills teenage driver

GREENVILLE, Pa. -- Police said an Eagle Street teen was killed when he apparently drove his car into the path of a school bus on Pa. Route 18 in West Salem Township.
Bryan A. Allen, 17, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene by J. Bradley McGonigle III, Mercer County coroner, shortly after the 7:40 a.m. accident Friday.
Police said the 13 pupils on the bus were taken to local hospitals after being shaken up in the crash but all were treated and released. Seven went to UPMC Horizon in Greenville and six went to Sharon Regional Health System.
The driver of the bus, James T. Douglas, 30, of Milburn Road, Mercer, wasn't injured, police said.
The bus was taking pupils from around the Shenango Valley to the Keystone Adolescent Center (an alternative-education program) and the Keystone Charter School, both in West Salem Township, police said.
The bus was northbound on Route 18 when the car driven by Allen pulled from Crestview Drive, headed east across Route 18, a divided, four-lane highway in that area, police said.
The bus struck the car on the passenger side and pushed it 300 feet off the road and into an embankment, and the front of the bus was on top of the car, police said.
