A school bus heading from a camp was involved in a crash in Reading, Massachusetts, on Friday, police said. Two children on board and the driver of another vehicle were hurt, but not badly.
The injured children -- who'd been coming from Camp Rice Moody, in a group of 18 girls ranging from 8 to 11 years old -- were treated at the scene and released to their parents, Reading police Chief David Clark said.
The driver of the car that collided with the bus was taken by ambulance to a hospital. No citations have been issued at this point in the investigation, police said.
"We're so happy that none of the children were injured beyond slight cuts and slight abrasions," said Reading fire Chief Gregory Burns, adding that the car driver "seemed to be alright as well."
