Nine people are at a hospital after a car struck a school bus in Lafayette, La., and caught fire.
The bus was carrying 15 elementary students on Monday when it was hit. Officials say a mother and her two children were pulled to safety from the burning car by residents of a nearby apartment complex and taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Six children on the bus also were taken to a hospital for observation.
