A number of students were taken to hospital as a precaution following a crash involving a school bus Monday morning.

The collision happened at the Perimeter, west of Pipeline Road.

An official with the Pembina Trails School Division said the bus from Ecole St. Avila was carrying 59 Grade Five students on their way to a field trip at Lower Fort Garry, when a car rear-ended the bus.

About 10 children complained of things like sore backs and were taken to Children's Hospital as a precaution.

Officials said parents were being notified Monday morning.
