PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Four people were injured in a crash involving a school bus and an SUV on Wednesday morning in East Vancouver, authorities said.
The Vancouver Fire Department said the crash happened just after 9 a.m. at 28th Street and 119th Avenue. Police say the SUV ran a red light and struck the side of the bus, which caused the SUV to catch fire.

Officials say there were a total of four minor injuries, and that three of those who were injured were taken to a local hospital. It’s unclear how many children were injured though at this time.
Because initial calls to the scene indicated the SUV was on fire and a bystander used a fire extinguisher, five VFD units responded to the scene. However, officials say the fire was out by the time fire crews responded.

Officials also said some of the children on the bus were taken to a different place before fire crews arrived at the scene, but those children were later accounted for and assessed for potential injuries.
