DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say 11 people were injured when a stolen van crashed into a commuter bus in Florida.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that the crash happened Tuesday morning at a Daytona Beach intersection. Officials say none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Police say they had been searching for the stolen van when it ran a stop sign and hit the county bus. A passenger in a van was initially mistaken for an injured pedestrian but later identified as a suspect. The van’s driver tried to run away but was arrested a short time later when a resident confronted him and blocked his escape until officers arrived.
