The ****** happened a little after 8 a.m. Thursday morning in 1600 block of Three Degree Road in Adams Township. A mass-casualty incident was initially declared for crews to get enough EMS resources to the scene.

Mars Area School District superintendent Dr. Mark Gross said the all students on the bus at the time of the ****** were evaluated by medics, and their parents were contacted.

UPMC originally confirmed to Channel 11 that they were treating two patients from the bus ****** at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. At 3:17 p.m., UPMC provided an update saying that seven students were taken to a hospital.

Three children were taken to Children’s Hospital. They have all been released.

Four other patients were treated at UPMC Passavant Cranberry.

At 4:42 p.m. UPMC said all patients had been released.

The bus driver’s condition is currently not known. They were taken to Allegheny General Hospital.

Gross said students that were determined by medics to be “not injured” were placed on another bus to continue to school. When those students arrived at the school, they were checked by the school nurse before going to class.

Social workers will be available for any students who need assistance throughout the day on Thursday and Monday, Gross said. Friday is an in-service day for students but guidance counselors will still be available if needed.

“The District would like to thank our first responders and school personnel for their quick and diligent response to this accident. In addition, we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we make every effort to safely transport your child(ren) to and from school,” Gross said in a statement.
