RAINBOW CITY, Ala. (AP) - Etowah County officials are
investigating the cause of a collision between a school bus and a
pickup truck that injured five children and the bus driver.

The Gadsden Times reports that Jimmy Sewell, transportation
director for Etowah County Schools, says the bus apparently pulled
in front of the truck Tuesday afternoon.

Rainbow City Fire Chief Kevin Conklin says five children ranging
in age from 8 to 14 were taken to hospitals with noncritical
injuries. The bus driver was treated on site.

Jon Paul Campbell, assistant superintendent of Etowah County
Schools, says an additional school bus arrived to continue
transporting the children to their homes once they had been cleared
by emergency medics.
