Some students complained of injuries and were checked out, officials said. There were no serious injuries, and no one needed to be taken to a hospital.
Some students went home with their parents. The rest of the students boarded a van and were taken to school.
Janay Austin-Smith showed up at the scene after her daughter called her.
“My youngest daughter said she hit her head pretty hard off the bus window. That's why I want to look at my kids before I leave or let them back to school. I don't think I even want to let them go back to school because this is like a freak accident and they could be riled up or scared or whatever the case may be,” Austin-Smith said.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
