Police: Racing to Blame for Wreck on Court Street
PASCO - A bad wreck on Court street and police say all because two drivers were racing. One of them took off.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday on Court Street and Road 48.

You can see the front end of the pick-up smashed, after it crashed into this Ben Franklin bus. Police say the bus couldn't get out of the way to avoid the cars racing down Court Street.

"They must have been going at least 60 mph to do this kind of damage. You don't see this with 35 to 40 mph. People need to know the damage speeding can do. Racing is not smart," said Pasco Police Officer Ryan Flanagan.

The teenage driver of the pick up was taken to the hospital. Some people inside the bus were hurt too, including an infant who went to the hospital.
