A yellow school bus and car crashed in New Castle County, Delaware, Wednesday morning, trapping the teenage driver of the car in the wreckage for two hours.
Rescuers could be seen surrounding the car involved, which came to rest next to the bus. They appeared to be focused on that car, eventually pulling an 18-year-old woman from it.
The "extensive extrication" took nearly two hours, New Castle County Paramedics spokesperson Jamielee Majewski said in a news release.
"She was treated by the New Castle County Paramedics for extremity and internal injuries," the news release said. "She was transported to Christiana Hospital on board Delaware State Police Helicopter in critical condition."
