Eight students and a school bus driver were sent to the hospital after a crash this morning.
Okeechobee County Schools says the bus collided with a car while on the morning route along Highway 70 West.
There were no life-threatening injuries and officials say the students and driver were taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution.
The School District put out a statement, extending its "sincere appreciation to the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office and Fire Rescue for their prompt and professional response."
