Nearly two dozen Clayton County elementary school students have been taken to an Atlanta hospital after a hit-and-run driver clipped their school bus.
Clayton County schools spokesman Charles White told Channel 2 Action News that two buses from Callaway Elementary School were taking fifth-graders on a field trip to the Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum in downtown Atlanta when one of the two buses was clipped by the hit-and-run driver on Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard.
White said 23 students and three adults were taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding to be checked out.
He said the injuries were not life-threatening, and consisted of “only bumps and bruises.”
Parents or guardians of those students taken to the hospital were notified by school staff, White said.
The bus sustained only minor damage, and continued to the museum with the students who didn’t require medical attention, he said.
