The bus driver and four teenagers inside the SUV were hospitalized, mostly with cuts and bruises.

One of the passengers in the SUV was apparently ejected from the vehicle and landed on resident Kim McGrath's lawn.

"My neighbor brought over a blanket to the girl, because she said she flew out of the car," said McGrath.

No further information is currently available.
