The Clayton Road crash occurred between Gregory and Waite avenues.

A man who was waiting with his daughter to get on the bus and witnessed the crash.

Dan Miller said, "My first reaction was disbelief. It all happened really fast. The bus came to a stop fast and got into reverse fast. The lady in the car did not have a chance to back up or get out of the way in time."

The students on the bus were transferred to another bus and then taken on to Dixie Elementary School

There is no damage to the bus, but the car has been significantly damaged, according to witnesses.
