Four students were injured when a school bus and an SUV collided on Thursday afternoon in Weber County, the sheriff's office reported.

The two occupants in the SUV, male students from Fremont High School, suffered serious injuries, said Weber County sheriff's Lt. Lane Findlay. He said two students on the bus, a 13-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, suffered minor injuries.

The bus was carrying 34 students from Wahlquist Junior High in Farr West as it traveled east on 1800 South just after 3 p.m., when the southbound SUV on 3500 West failed to stop at a stop sign and went into the path of the bus, Findlay said.

The bus pushed the SUV off the road and into a ditch, Findlay said. The two teens in that vehicle were taken by ground ambulance to a hospital.

"I called 911 and came rushing over here," said Gary Myrup, who lives in the area. "I got over here and it appeared that both the occupants of this vehicle [the SUV] were unresponsive, to me. The driver appeared to be OK but visibly shaken in the school bus. The kids appeared to be OK."

Myrup said the intersection is a busy one, and he's seen several car crashes per year there. He said he's reported to police officers that it's a problem, but no change has ever come.

"The amount of traffic in this intersection and the speeds that they go at — it is ridiculous," he said. "… Something needs to be done."

The injured students on the bus suffered cuts and bruises and were treated at the scene, Findlay said. The driver of the bus was not injured.

The crash is under investigation.
