TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — At least two students have been injured after a school bus collided with a car east of Topeka.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the bus was transporting about 15 middle and high school students when the crash happened around 7 a.m. at a U.S. 40 intersection.

Shawnee Heights superintendent Marty Stessman says one student was taken to a hospital with possible leg pain. Another student also complained of injuries and was taken home by a parent.

Stessman says all other students were examined by school medical personnel.

The passenger and driver of the car also were loaded into an ambulance.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
