About half a dozen fourth-grade students from Greenwich suffered bumps and bruises Tuesday afternoon when their school bus collided with another car on Interstate 91 southbound in Middletown, according to state police.
State police spokesman Sgt. Shane Hassett said 37 fourth-graders were returning from a field trip with six adult chaperones when the bus got "tangled up" with another car on the highway between exits 20 and 21.
According to Hassett, about six students are complaining of bumps and bruises. Hassett described their injuries as "very minor" and said he doesn't believe any adults were hurt. None of the students was taken to the hospital.
Traffic was backed up between exits 20 and 22S in the wake of the crash, which closed one lane of travel, according to the state Department of Transportation.
