SPARTA, N.J.-
A dump truck hit a school bus Thursday, injuring nine people aboard, school officials said. None of the injuries was life threatening.
The bus was hit almost head-on while carrying 16 Hopatcong High School students and two teachers to a meeting on student community service, schools superintendent Wayne L. Threlkeld said.
Threlkeld said that according to witnesses, the truck ran a red light.
The bus driver and a teacher had broken bones, and seven students complained of bruises and pain, he said. The truck driver appears to have been unhurt, he said.
