Wreck involving 2 school buses in front of Longview school

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) -

A wreck involving two school buses is slowing traffic in front of a Longview school this morning.

According to authorities, the two buses collided in front of Johnston-McQueen Elementary School shortly before 7:40 a.m. on Thursday.

According to Adam Holland with Longview Independent School District, a Longview school bus was pulling into the school when it collided with a Spring Hill ISD bus that had just dropped students off. Holland said the brakes failed on the Spring Hill bus, causing the collision. 

None of the children were transported, although some were treated for minor bumps and bruises. Paramedics advised parents of ten students to take their children to the hospital to be checked for concussions as a precaution.

KLTV has a crew heading to the scene and will have more details shortly.
