A Cheshire school bus, empty except for the driver, veered off the Chamberlain Highway in Meriden during a crash Friday, according to police.

According to state police, the bus left the highway and traveled into the woods at the entrance ramp to Interstate 691 westbound early Wednesday afternoon.

Masciana said the bus driver was not hurt.

No additional information was immediately available.
