Several people were injured Wednesday morning after a Metro bus crashed into a big oil rig in El Monte.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a crash involving a Metro bus and a big rig at 6:05 a.m. at Rosemead Boulevard and Klingerman Street.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the bus driver collided with the parked large vehicle loaded with plywood.

The LACFD told CBS News Los Angeles that at least 11 people were injured, including the bus driver. One person suffered a heart attack, but their condition is unknown.

Southbound Rosemead is closed near Klingerman. Authorities hope to have the road reopened in about an hour.
