Several North Carolina middle school students reportedly sustained minor injuries after the bus they were riding in crashed into a building on Thursday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said 15 students and a driver were heading to Ranson Middle School when, for unknown reasons, the school bus went off the roadway and crashed into a building just north of Charlotte.
“CMS is thankful that no serious injuries have been reported,” the schools said in a statement. “Families of students on board bus #509 were notified, advised of no injuries and arrangements made for safe transportation home or to school.”
