Authorities said there were no serious injuries in a crash Tuesday morning involving a school bus along southbound Interstate 35W in Mounds View.
The Minnesota State Patrol said the crash happened just before 8 a.m. at the south junction with U.S. Highway 10. As traffic slowed, a car rear-ended an SUV and then veered into the path of the school bus.
The car and the bus came to rest against the concrete median; Minnesota Department of Transportation traffic cameras showed the bus upright and intact.
The Patrol said there were 27 children aboard the bus, from St. John the Baptist Catholic School in New Brighton. Authorities said none of the students reported injuries at the scene; they were evaluated further once at school.
The drivers of the car and the bus were taken to a hospital with what the Patrol said were non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash blocked several lanes of southbound I-35W and led to major traffic delays during part of the morning commute. The crash scene was cleared and traffic was flowing normally by mid-morning.
The crash remains under investigation.
