JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Ten students and their driver were taken to various hospitals to be checked out after a tractor-trailer rear-ended a school bus in downtown Jacksonville Thursday morning, according to Jacksonville Fire-Rescue spokesman Tom Francis.

The crash occurred at the intersection of Union and Davis streets about 10:30 a.m. Francis said there were no serious injuries and the students were transported to hospitals as a precaution.

The bus was carrying students from Lake Forest Elementary to a field trip at the Cummer Museum of Art.

One mother picked her son up from the accident scene and took him home.

"He’s just shaken up. I'm going to taken him home so he can rest," parent Bonnie Duncan. "The other kids ... they were transported. I hope they'll be OK."

School district officials and representatives of the First Union bus company responded.

"The safety of our students is our No. 1 priority ... regardless of whether they're in the classroom or in a school bus headed to an event," Johnson said.

Police have not said if the driver of the big rig would be cited with the accident.
