Firefighters said nine total patients were transported to the hospital, including the minor.
Police said the van was stolen out of South Daytona. Officers said two suspects are in custody. They said a gun is also missing from the van.
Daytona Beach police officers are working to determine the cause of the crash.
Raymond Wallace, who's mother was aboard the bus, said he hopes the suspects who caused the crash are held accountable.
"It's a blessing that everyone made it off there safely, but whoever the person is that caused the accident, he need them behind bars because that is a serious accident there," Wallace said.
