Fire officials are investigating after a vehicle and bus carrying over 20 children collided Thursday morning, according to investigators.

Orange County Fire Rescue said the crash happened in the area of Seidel and Bowery Drive between an Infiniti and an Orange County school bus.

Officials said that 21 children were on the bus at the time of the crash, but that none were injured.

The driver of the vehicle involved told officials he was driving on the wrong side of the road because he was confused of construction in the area. He then traveled into the path of the bus in an attempt to get back on the right side of the road.

The driver of the bus, a 40-year-old woman, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The driver of the Infiniti was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
