According to Lamers, who owns the school bus, the driver had just finished morning routes when a driver heading east on Howard ran a red light and hit the bus, causing it to spin. This led to a pileup with four other cars. The school bus driver is okay, but was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Three passengers from other vehicles were also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Watch: One person killed, several cars damaged in crash involving school bus.
