Authorities in Rio Grande City are investigating a school bus crash that happened Monday morning near an elementary school.
In a news release, the Rio Grande City-La Grulla Independent School District said a vehicle hit a bus carrying eight students near La Union Elementary as it was entering an intersection.
Aside from the bus driver, the bus was carrying four Grulla Middle School students and four students from La Union Elementary.
“Paramedics arrived on the scene to check our students and driver and provide medical attention, but none were transported for further care,” the district stated. “There were some minor bumps and bruises, but none were deemed serious enough as to require treatment.”
The district said one student was taken to the hospital, but he was in the car that hit the bus.
That child is enrolled in a neighboring school district and had lacerations to his forehead, according to the release.
“Some parents did take the students to the physician of their choice as a precautionary measure,” the release stated. “Paramedics did clear every student, however they were taken for closer observation.”
