WATCH: School Buses Crash After One Blows Stop Sign

Three suffer minor injuries in Tuesday crash in Copiague.

A home surveillance video posted on YouTube shows a crash between two school buses in Copiague Tuesday afternoon. 

Three people–both drivers and a female child–were treated and released from the hospital after suffering minor injuries in the crash at the intersection of Molloy Street and Mazzini Avenue, police said. 

In the video footage, a full-size bus heading west on Mazzini Street can be seen barreling through a stop sign and colliding with the rear of a smaller bus, causing it to overturn. The smaller bus had been traveling south on Molloy Street and did not have a stop sign at the intersection where the crash occurred. 

No criminal charges have been filed in the crash, but News 12 reported that both drivers have been suspended by Educational Bus Transportation, which owns both buses, during an investigation.
