The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a minor accident after a Southeast School District bus in Portage County went off the side of the road to avoid crashing with a pickup that went over the center line.
According to OSHP, it happened just after 7 a.m. on Scotts Corners Road in Palmyra Township.
Authorities say School Bus No. 30 was heading northwest when a pickup truck heading southeast on the same road went left of center. The bus went off the side of the road to avoid the truck and ended up in a yard.
OSHP said the pickup truck didn't stop and drove off.
There were more than two dozen children on the bus when it happened.
The 52-year-old driver and six children sustained minor injuries, according to OSHP. The driver and two of those children were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of their minor injuries.
The bus didn't sustain any damage.
The matter remains under investigation.
