“The bus driver had blood all down her face, and she was just screaming for us to get out of the bus because there was smoke coming from the front of the bus," student Zachery Ennett told local station WSOC. "I was really scared. I thought it was going to explode or something."

Fire officials remained on the scene to ensure the structural integrity of the house.

The homeowner was in the house at the time of the crash but was not injured, WSOC reported.
