Massachusetts State Police said the crash involved a school bus, a Toyota Camry and three parked vehicles. Children were aboard the school bus. Two of them - a 17-year-old and 15-year-old, as well as the 53-year-old driver, were evaluated and medically cleared.

A passenger in the Camry, a 51-year-old Brockton woman, was taken to Beth Israel Hospital with minor injuries. The driver, a 65-year-old Taunton woman, was not hurt.

The parked cars were empty at the time but one of them, a Tesla, had to be towed due to the damage.

Photos from the ground showed a car with severe rear-end damage that appeared to be crushed between the bus and a tree.
