A driver allegedly crashed their car into an MBTA bus in Roxbury on Sunday night and fled the scene, according to MBTA Transit Police.

In a tweet Monday morning, the agency accused the driver of hitting the bus while attempting an illegal U-turn in the area of Columbus Avenue and Bray Street around 8:30 p.m.

Transit police seemed confident that they would be able to identify the suspect though, noting that the vehicle’s bumper came off and was left behind at the scene — license plate still attached.

No injuries were reported as a result of the crash, the agency said.
