One adult and one child were taken to the hospital Thursday morning after a wreck involving a car and a school bus on Peace Street, Raleigh police said. 

Officers responded to the scene, near the intersection of Capital Boulevard north of downtown, about 7:45 a.m. 

The driver of the vehicle, whose name was not released, was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries, police said. A child on the bus was also transported, although police said the child's injuries were believed to be minor. 

Peace Street is closed between Capital Boulevard and Glenwood Avenue. Motorists should avoid the area.

How do you miss a school bus? Judging by today's accident - easily.

I saw the area blocked off this morning. Had no idea a school bus was involved, but that is such a dangerous area, and people drive like nuts through there. I don't understand why people don't just get up a few minutes early and go where they need to go so they don't have to rush and cause the kind of traffic headache I had to endure this morning while trying to maneuver Peace Street.

Just don't understand why people cannot see a big yellow school bus. I hope those that was injured will be OK in time.

seems pretty common to close roads now to investigate accidents

I never take that ramp even when traffic is light. It's just too dangerous!!!
