MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio — An investigation is underway after a crash on Thursday morning involving a Cardinal Local School District bus in Geauga County.
Ohio State Highway Patrol officials say the crash happened between the bus and a 2007 Nissan Versa at 8:29 a.m. at the intersection of George Road and Chipmunk Lane in Burton Township.
Officials say that at the time of the crash, 15 students, ranging from 5-9 years old, were being transported to A.J. Jordak Elementary School in Middlefield. None of the students on board suffered any injuries.

The 67-year-old bus driver was cited for failure to yield from a stop sign.
Both the bus, as well as the Nissan, received minor damage from the crash, but were able to be driven away from the scene.
