SALEM: Nearly 1,000 people were watching Tuesday afternoon when a school bus went through a North Salem intersection without stopping.

It was the second day that a camera had been aimed at the intersection and the view livestreamed on the gaming platform Twitch. (An earlier livestream had shown another nearby intersection, until a resident expressed concerns about privacy and people showing up to mug for the camera.)
