Nine students – on their way to Clay High School – were taken to the hospital as was the driver of the vehicle, said Oregon fire Chief Ed Ellis.

None of the injuries appear to be life threatening, Chief Ellis said.

A second crash involving a school bus and a vehicle was reported at 7:57 a.m. at Starr Avenue and Wynn Road, the dispatcher said.
