According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the bus -- which appeared to be a privately owned mobility-assist or specials needs-assist bus -- tried to enter the garage and hit the structure.

A sign on the garage shows the clearance of the entrance to the one-story structure is 8 feet, 2 inches.

The three people who were injured were taken to the Main Event building, where ambulances found them when they arrived.

News4JAX saw one man on a stretcher being taken to the hospital.

Jacksonville Fire Rescue also said the injuries were minor.
