BLACKSTONE, Mass. — A school bus with students on board crashed in Blackstone Thursday afternoon.

Blackstone Police say that a school bus and car crashed at the intersection of Main St and Mendon Street.

Three students were transported to the hospital and the driver of the other car was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with non life threatening injuries.

“While the situation was jarring, all students involved are ok,” Superintendent Jason DeFalco said. “Our first responders and school staff did incredible work caring for the children while we waited for parents to arrive at the reunification site.
