A DeKalb County school bus crashed into a ditch while students were on board Monday morning, officials said.

The wreck happened just after 7 a.m. on Bouldercrest Road near I-285, according to police. DeKalb County School District spokeswoman Eileen Houston-Stewart said emergency medical technicians responded to the crash.

No serious injuries were reported, DeKalb police spokesman Sgt. J.D. Spencer said.

While it is not clear how the bus ended up in the ditch, Spencer said the crash involved an SUV.
