A crash involving four vehicles, including a Lynx bus, on University Boulevard near State Road 417 sent two drivers to the hospital and caused a partial roadblock, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a vehicle was traveling westbound on University Boulevard, approaching State Road 417, when the driver ran a red light and entered the direct path of another vehicle, which was making a left turn from the southbound exit ramp to travel eastbound on University Boulevard.
The second vehicle struck the first one, causing it to collide with two other vehicles, which included a Lynx bus stopped at a red light facing westbound on University Boulevard.
The driver of the first vehicle was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, and the driver of the second vehicle was taken to AdventHealth East Orlando.
The drivers of the other vehicles, including the Lynx bus driver, along with a passenger, were not transported and remained at the scene, FHP said.
Troopers said there is a partial roadblock on University Boulevard.
The crash remains under investigation.
