Thirteen people were hurt when an NJ Transit bus was hit by a car Thursday afternoon in Atlantic County, a transit agency spokesperson said.

Shortly before 5:30 p.m., the Route 554 bus was struck by a car in the area of Shore Road and Ohio Avenue in Absecon, said NJ Transit spokesperson Mariluz Garcia-Diaz.

All 12 passengers and the bus driver were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, Garcia-Diaz said.

No information was immediately available for what happened to any occupants in the car.

The Route 554 bus travels between Lindenwold and Atlantic City.
