An 82-year-old woman was taken to Shands at UF after a crash involving herself and an RTS bus Monday.
Ann Ruffin was the only person injured in the crash, according to Gainesville Police Sgt. Joe Raulerson.
Raulerson said the bus driver and the few passengers were unhurt in the crash, which happened at Northwest 23rd Street and West University Avenue at about 2 p.m.
He said Ruffin was driving her 2008 Cadillac eastbound on University Avenue and tried to turn left onto Northwest 23rd Street when the RTS bus crashed into her passenger side.
The impact caused major damage to the front and side of Ruffin's car, the windows were shattered and air bags were deployed, Raulerson said.
Serious damage was done to the front of the bus as well, he said.
Ruffin's injuries were serious but not life-threatening, said GPD spokesman Keith Kameg.
Investigators are trying to determine who was at fault, he added.
