A three-car crash put a Capital Area Transportation Authority, or CATA, bus out of service Thursday during Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign rally, MSU police Sgt. Jill Geile said.

The bus was stopped at the light on the corner of Shaw Lane and Chestnut Road when a vehicle two cars back started a chain reaction, causing an SUV to rear-end the CATA bus.

An elderly woman claimed injuries but was not transported to the hospital. No one on the bus was injured.
