REDWOOD COUNTY, Minn. — Nine students on board a school bus were in a crash on Wednesday morning. 

The Redwood County Sheriff's Office says the crash happened around 8 in the morning near 280th street and CSAH 7. 

The bus was traveling east and failed to yield when it entered an intersection, causing a Ford truck to hit the bus. 

Nine of the students received minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital. 

In a statement to parents, the Wabasso Public School District said "We are grateful that no serious injuries happened to our students, the driver of the other driver." 

They also said they would have a counselor available to any student who may be experiencing anxiety from the accident. 

The Redwood County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota State Patrol are investigating.
