19 injured in semi-truck, sedan, school bus crash in Stanislaus County

(FOX40.COM) — A three-vehicle collision in Stanislaus County on Tuesday morning injured nearly 20 people including more than a dozen school children, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Officers say that a Honda sedan was waiting behind a school bus with its flashing red lights on at Crows Landing Road and El Katrina Lane when the collision occurred.

A semi-truck and trailer approaching from the rear of the Honda did not notice the stopped vehicles when it plowed into the sedan and continued to hit the rear of the bus.

The 17 elementary school students sustained minor injuries. The driver of the Honda and the semi-truck were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.

Images from the CHP show the front of the semi-truck to be completely crushed and the whole rear of the Honda to be crumpled and almost unrecognizable.
