Photos from the Cottage Grove fire department show the aftermath of the collision that overturned a Tutor Time bus.
One student and a bus driver received minor injuries and were transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, according to the Cottage Grove Department of Public Safety.
Tutor Time is a day care center that offers infant, toddler and preschool programs. It said seven school-age children were on board the bus at the time.
Capt. Randy McAlister of the Cottage Grove Police Department said the children were primarily younger students who attend different schools around South Washington County.
The other students on the bus were reunited with their parents after being checked for injuries.
