Police say the crash happened Monday around 8:30 a.m. on Roosevelt Trail. There were 31 students on board the bus at the time.

A woman behind the wheel of a Subaru Outback was attempting to turn into the Lake Region Convenience store parking lot when the bus struck her vehicle from behind. The Subaru was pushed into an empty propane tank cage and struck a third vehicle in the parking lot.
