Carl Carson, director of finance, administration and human resources for School District 10, was at the scene of the accident Friday morning.
Later on in the morning, Carson stated that School Bus #24 driven by Winston Johnson had stopped to pick up two students on Route 127 in Waweig at approximately 7:26 a.m. when it was struck from behind by a transport truck heading south toward Highway 170.
He said no one on the bus was seriously injured in the accident, but the two students on board, as well as the school bus driver and truck driver were taken to the Charlotte County Hospital.
Carson confirmed both students on the bus were elementary school students.
He also said that to the best of his knowledge, the flashing red warning lights on the bus were operating at the time of the accident.
