Witnesses said the Hyundai Elantra with New York State license plates collided with the bus at Enoch Street and Paterson Avenue just off southbound Route 17 after its driver blew a stop sign.

The extricated victim was hospitalized with undetermined injuries after the sedan careened down the embankment at a Paterson Avenue construction site.

Nearly 20 passengers were picked up by another bus.
