HOWELL - A northbound school bus crashed into a utility pole on Route 9 Wednesday, forcing authorities to close a portion of the highway, police said.

There were no injuries. The incident took place just after 3 p.m. at West Farms Road in Howell, police said.

The northbound lanes were shut down and southbound traffic was limited to one lane due to low-hanging wires as a result of the collision with the pole, police said.

Jersey Central Power & Light were also dispatched to the scene to make repairs, police said.

The bus belonged to Jay’s Bus Service of Lakewood.
