Police said both houses were evacuated and the families will not be allowed back home until the buildings have been deemed safe.
“We’re concerned that there may be some structural damage with the house so the engineer will be attending the address tomorrow morning to determine what the damage to the house is and is it safe to reoccupy at this point in time,” Insp. Jim Gotell explained.
The bus has since been towed away from the scene as part of the investigation.
