A police unit responds to the scene of an emergency.

Some high school and middle school students received minor injuries after their East Central Independent School District bus rearended an 18-wheeler on Friday morning.

EMS determined none of the 30 students on the bus required transport to a hospital for treatment after the crash on U.S. 87.

However, some students chose to be taken by EMS to a hospital, according to the school district.

District Spokesman Brandon Oliver said Bus 266 clipped an 18-wheeler as the bus attempted to make a left turn to take students down a road to classes.

The students involved in the crash attend East Central High School and Heritage Middle School.

Parents were notified of the wreck, according to the school district.

Correction: A previous version of this story included the school district's incorrect sequence of events. The bus struck the truck.
