Michigan State Police have released new details regarding a school bus crash that happened on US-127 Wednesday afternoon.
Around 4:32 p.m. Wednesday, troopers from the MSP Mount Pleasant Post responded to a school bus rollover crash on northbound US-127 near Fremont Road.
Troopers say initial report and witness statements revealed that the school bus went off the road to the left, re-entered the road and continued off to the right, causing it to overturn.
They say 24 students and three adults, including the driver, from Ithaca Schools were on board.
A Sergeant from the Mount Pleasant Post was a half-mile from the crash when it happened and responded immediately to the scene, rendering aid to the occupants. Multiple other agencies also assisted in the crash.
According to Michigan State Police, the driver and an adult chaperone are currently receiving treatment at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
One student is also being treated for non-life threatening injuries at a separate hospital.
Troopers say eight students were taken to another region hospital, with seven being treated for minor injuries and one for an apparent broken arm.
Five of the six students, according to troopers, were transported to a Mount Pleasant hospital and were released after receiving treatment for minor injuries.
One student, however, is being held for non-life threatening injuries and observation.
