OSHP said that the bus was traveling on County Road 32 and did not stop at a stop sign. An SUV was driving on County Road 41 and hit the bus.
The bus had 26 people on board, OSHP said.
Medics took seven students, the 67-year-old bus driver, and the SUV driver to a hospital with minor injuries. An air ambulance transported an eighth student to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, WTOL said.
“We would like to give a huge thanks to the swift efforts of our coaches, Sandusky County EMS, Helena Fire and EMS, and Sandusky Highway Patrol, as well as other first responders on scene. Also, a thank you goes out to our Ranger parents who assisted as well,” Northwood Local Schools said in a Facebook post.
The crash remains under investigation.
