The Seattle Fire Department stated that the 31-year-old man who was driving the car was pulled out by firefighters and taken to the hospital where he is now in critical condition. 

According to authorities, eleven passengers aboard the bus, including the driver, suffered non-life threatening injuries in the incident and were in stable condition.
