Crews arrived on scene within four minutes and found a two-vehicle collision between a school bus and a passenger vehicle, Lansing Fire Department said.

Parents of the students had already started to arrive on scene and met with our Incident Command. All parties involved were evaluated by Lansing Fire personnel and triaged per protocol. In total, eleven individuals requested transport for evaluation.
