The crash happened around 4 p.m. in the 600 block of Duss Avenue, where medics evaluated students at the scene. One student received a Band-aid for a hand scratch.
"Every child was checked out. There were no reportable injuries," Zurchin said.
Zurchin said some families came to the scene to pick up students. The bus was towed.
