Palm Springs, CA—A school bus crash sent eight students to the hospital after an Oldsmobile apparently cut off the bus. The bus was headed to Katherine Finchy Elementary School at 777 Tachevah Drive around 8:15 a.m., when the crash occurred, as reported by The Desert Sun.

An 80-year-old Desert Hot Springs resident was driving a 1996 Oldsmobile, when according to witnesses, he cut off the school bus. Seven students aboard the bus were rushed to the hospital by area emergency medical services (EMS) crews for treatment of their injuries. Another student was later transported by their parent to the hospital for an evaluation by doctors and nurses.
