A Columbia Public Schools bus was involved in an accident Tuesday near Providence Road, north of Business Loop 70.

CPS spokesperson Michelle Baumstark said in an email that the crash occurred around 3:15 p.m.

Baumstark described the crash as "a minor accident.

Multiple police vehicles were on the scene. A vehicle was seen in front of the bus and behind it. An ambulance was also seen by an ABC 17 News reporter, but the ambulance left the scene without its emergency lights on.
