A bus driver and a student were taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul Wednesday morning after an SUV-bus crash in Cottage Grove.
The crash, which happened about 7:25 a.m. near Crestview Elementary School, involved a small bus belonging to the child-care center Tutor Time, said Capt. Randy McAlister, deputy director of the Cottage Grove Department of Public Safety.
The impact of the collision caused the bus, which was eastbound on 80th Street and turning north on Hinton Avenue, to land on its side. There were seven students on the bus.
The two who were taken to Regions had minor injuries; the other students were checked for injuries and police officers contacted their parents for reunification, McAlister said.
The driver of the SUV, who was westbound on 80th, was not injured, McAlister said.
Both drivers had a yellow light, McAlister said.
The accident is being investigated.
