Bus 433 from East Brainerd Elementary was in an accident Wednesday morning on the way to school. The bus was stopped to pick up children when it was hit from behind by a pick-up truck.
No students were injured but one was transported to the hospital as a precaution because the child complained of a sore chest.
The children were checked on the scene to ensure they were not injured.
Many parents were on the scene and transported their children on to school. The bus was disabled and was replaced by another bus to transport the remaining children to school.
At school, the children will be checked again by the school nurse to make sure they are not injured. The school counselor will also work with the children to make sure they were not impacted emotionally as a result of the incident.
A telephone message is being sent to the entire school family to let parents know about the incident and that the children were not seriously injured in the accident.
