No one was seriously hurt in the Friday morning crash. State troopers in northern Ohio say a few of the 12 students suffered bumps and bruises.
The bus driver was charged with child endangering, driving under the influence and operating a commercial vehicle without a license.

About 30 miles from the park, the bus veered off the road. The students got on other buses to finish the trip to the amusement park.
