19 injured in crash on way to ‘Dr. Phil’

? A tour bus full of people on their way to a taping of the “Dr. Phil” TV show crashed into a tree at a Hollywood church Wednesday, authorities said. Nineteen people suffered mostly minor injuries.

The chartered bus with 41 people on board was getting off a freeway around 10:15 a.m. when its brakes malfunctioned, police Lt. Roger Mora said.

The bus hit a parked car, crashed through a fence and hit a tree in the yard of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood.

When a second bus arrived to take the riders back to Ventura County, passengers refused to board it, Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said. Instead, friends and relatives were expected to take the riders home.

The passengers never got to see Dr. Phil McGraw’s self-help TV show.
