Passengers trapped after charter buses crash into power lines

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A dangerous situation unfolded in southeast Houston.

Two charter buses stopped at Wayside Drive and Capital Street after crashing into a pole, causing live power lines to fall.

Authorities say there are still people inside one of the buses, waiting for the all-clear so they can come out.

Authorities say Center Point de-energized the lines, but passengers are still on board.

Typically in cases like these, firefighters will wait for the power to be shut off before attempting to move anyone out of a vehicle near a down power line.

Authorities say no one has been injured
