Body camera video shows the black jeep suffered heavy front-end damage. Two firefighters were working on the driver’s side of the school bus.
19 kids suffered non-life-threatening injuries, WBNS said.
One father told WBNS that he had three daughters on the bus.
“They said it’s an emergency, my kids are in a crash. The first thing that comes to my mind is, ‘Oh my gosh’,” said Brett Gorell.
Medics transported two of his daughters to an area hospital, WBNS reports.
“One of them had a concussion and whiplash,” said Gorrell. He said his other daughter may have suffered some torn ligaments.
Marion Police cited the jeep’s driver for failure to yield at an intersection, WBNS said.
