Police in Duluth are investigating after a pickup truck crashed into a Gwinnett County school bus with students on board, officials said.

The wreck happened Monday afternoon on Buford Highway, Duluth police said in a tweet. Ten students were on the bus at the time, according to police spokesman Officer Ted Sadowski.

For reasons that aren’t clear to investigators, the driver of the truck steered into oncoming traffic, Sadowski said. The driver first hit a mailbox, then struck the school bus.

The collision sent the driver of the truck to a hospital, officials said. He was alert at the time, Sadowski said.

The bus driver and the students were not injured, police said.
