At 8:41 a.m. Friday, a school bus with 30 students aboard en route to Century Elementary School was involved in a head-on collision with a 2-ton farm truck at 6200 W. 2400 North, just west of Corinne, said Box Elder Sheriff Chief Deputy Kevin Potter.

Box Elder Superintendent Ron Wolff said three elementary-age children were taken to local hospitals to be treated for minor injuries.
