“More than a dozen people were injured, four critically, after a Santa Clarita city bus, a gravel truck, and a white sedan collided Wednesday morning at Centre Pointe Parkway and Golden Valley Road.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence mentions a different accident at the same intersection (Centre Pointe Parkway and Golden Valley Road) involving only two vehicles and two injuries on a Tuesday evening, which contradicts the specific details of the claim (bus, gravel truck, sedan, 12+ injuries, Wednesday morning). No evidence supports the specific multi-vehicle crash described.
