CINCINNATI (AP) - Police say a bus driver who thought the vehicle was being chased by an armed man ran a stop sign and crashed into a pickup truck, flipping the bus onto its top.
Two charter school students were taken to a hospital.
Cincinnati Police Lt. Mark Briede says the bus driver struck a parked car Wednesday. He says children on the bus began yelling that the car's driver had a gun when he tried to flag down the moving bus.
Police later determined the man was unarmed.
The bus came to rest on its side.
2 of the teenage students from Hope Academy were taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. One was treated and released and the other remained for observation.
