Seven people were taken to hospitals after a car collided with a Montgomery County school bus in the Aspen Hill area.

County fire department spokesman Capt. Oscar Garcia said the crash was reported about 3:30 p.m. Friday at Layhill and Norbeck roads. Garcia said it was a front-end crash between a four-door Toyota Corolla and the bus.

Two people from the car had serious but not life-threatening injuries. They were taken to a trauma center.

Three children ages 7 to 10 years old from the bus were taken to a hospital for evaluations, but there were no obvious injuries. The bus driver and a bus attendant were also being checked at a hospital for any injuries.
