UNION CITY, Ind. — An investigation is underway after a school bus crashed into a building in Union City Wednesday morning.
The Union City Police Department investigated the crash at the intersection of West Hickory and Jackson streets on Nov. 6 involving a bus from the Randolph County Eastern School Corporation.
Neal Adams, the school district's superintendent, confirmed 20 students and the 69-year-old bus driver were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Three students were taken to a hospital as a precaution. The students' injuries were said to be minor. The bus driver was being evaluated at a Muncie hospital.
The rest of the students were taken to school or released to their parents.
On Wednesday evening, the police department said a preliminary investigation leads them to believe the driver of the bus had a medical episode before the crash.
