INDIANAPOLIS -- 25 students and two bus drivers from Lawrence Township were taken to hospitals Friday morning following a school bus crash on the northeast side.
It happened just before 8:30 a.m. on an overpass just before the intersection of Fall Creek Road and Shadeland Avenue.
The buses were on their way to Lawrence North High School when, according to police, it appears one rear-ended the other as it headed north on Shadeland.

Ten students and the two bus drivers are at Community North. None were seriously hurt.
