According to police, a 911 call came in at 7:45 a.m. for a crash at County Line Road and Ritter Avenue.
A total of five children, all of elementary school age, and a driver’s aide were on the bus from the Amityville School District. They were transported to Good Samaritan Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

An occupant of the home said everyone was asleep at the time of the crash, except for her mother who was in the living room. The mother was injured by debris but is expected to be OK.
