Two students were transported to a hospital Friday afternoon after two school buses collided in Dupo.

One bus rear-ended another as both were leaving Bluffview Elementary School about 2:35 p.m., according to KSDK.

One child from each bus was transported to a hospital for minor head and neck injuries. Fifteen other students sustained bumps and bruises but declined further treatment.

Police reported that the driver who drove into the other bus was distracted by a student who was trying to hand him something.
