The driver and lone occupant of the transport truck was not injured.

Police say a preliminary investigation indicates the bus attempted to enter the highway and collided with an eastbound transport truck on Route 400.

A section of the highway was closed as a result of the crash, and police asked people to avoid the area so emergency crews could work.
