HORROR ON CAMPUS: Norman Bus Crash Near Lloyd Noble Center Sends Multiple Students to Hospital
A frightening scene unfolded Wednesday afternoon near the bustling Lloyd Noble Center area in Norman, Oklahoma, when a University of Oklahoma campus bus collided with a passenger vehicle, sending shockwaves through the college community and leaving several people injured.
The crash occurred around 2:30 p.m. local time near the intersection of Jenkins Avenue and Stevenson Parkway, just south of the Lloyd Noble Center — a major hub for sports, events, and student activity on campus. Witnesses reported the chaotic aftermath as emergency crews rushed to the scene, sirens blaring and students and pedestrians scrambling for safety.
According to authorities, a Campus Area Rapid Transit (CART) bus — commonly used to ferry students around the sprawling OU campus — collided with another vehicle in what officials are describing as a serious traffic accident. Preliminary reports confirm that two to three individuals were transported to a nearby hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries, though details about their identities or exact conditions have not yet been released.
The University of Oklahoma Police Department and local Norman emergency responders worked together to secure the scene, provide first aid, and redirect traffic during the rush‑hour incident. Investigators are now combing through witness accounts, traffic camera video, and vehicle data to determine what caused the collision.
Students and faculty expressed shock and concern, with many taking to social media to share photos and updates from the scene. “It happened so fast,” one student wrote. “We just hope everyone makes a full recovery.” As the investigation continues, campus officials have urged anyone with information or footage of the crash to come forward to assist in the ongoing inquiry.
