CINCINNATI — Multiple children are being taken to the hospital Friday afternoon after a school bus crashed into construction equipment, police said.

Police said the school bus, which was carrying 4th and 5th graders from Lincoln Heights Elementary School, crashed into some type of construction sign along E 6th Street in downtown Cincinnati.

Four children that were on the bus were taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital to be checked for concussions, a Princeton City Schools spokesperson Tricia Roddy said. Police initially said five children were taken to the hospital, but Roddy said one child was treated at the scene and released.

Roddy also said staff members were on the bus at the time of the crash, and all parents involved have been notified.

The children were downtown for a field trip to the Aronoff Center, Roddy said.

Police did not say what caused the bus driver to crash into the construction sign, but there was some visible damage to the bus.
