FRANKLIN, TN — A Williamson County school bus was hit during a chain-reaction crash in Franklin Wednesday.
At 8:17 a.m., a car turning left from Highway 96 on to Front Street was struck head-on by an eastbound driver.

Paramedics evaluated the 49 students on board the bus and determined that only two had minor injuries which required no further medical attention. Those children were released to their parents. The other 47 students were either turned over to their parents or were taken on to school by another bus.
The drivers of the two cars had minor injuries but no one involved was taken to the hospital and no charges were filed.
