Congressional candidate Alan Grayson was ticketed for running a red light after he collided with a bus in downtown Orlando this weekend.

Three people onboard the bus suffered minor injuries and were transported to local hospitals.

The collision caused the air bags to deploy inside of Grayson's 2009 Mercedes Benz. The vehicle had significant damage and was towed from the scene. A passenger in his car, 28-year-old Lydia C. Brooks, was not injured.

Grayson told an officer at the scene that he didn't know what color the stop light was when he struck the bus. Witnesses told police Grayson's light was red.
