(NECN: Jennifer Eagan, Boston) - The search for answers is on after an MBTA bus crashed into a parked truck.

That movie production truck is here in Boston for the filming of a Sandra Bullock movie.

Fifteen people on that bus were taken to the hospital after the accident Monday morning on Warren Street.
 
The injuries in this case are considered non life threatening.

The crash happened around 9:30 Monday morning.

Police say 15 people were hurt, 10 of those complaining of head, neck or back injuries, including the bus driver.

Passengers recalled the experience.

The production truck had a permit to park at the MBTA bus stop it was in. The truck was part of a shoot for a Sandra Bullock movie.

An MBA spokesperson says the 33-year-old bus operator has been with the T for more than five years and had driven by the production truck earlier that morning without any issues.

An MBTA spokesperson says no one inside the production truck was taken to the hospital.

Investigators will look into whether there was a mechanical issue with the bus, if speed was a factor or if there was another factor at play.
