SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A school bus transporting students on their first day of classes Tuesday in western Ohio was involved in a crash that claimed the life of one child and injured 23 others, reports say.

The State Highway Patrol tells WHIO Channel 7 the crash involving a bus with Northwestern Local Schools occurred at about 8:15 a.m. on Ohio 41 in Clark County, which is northeast of Dayton. The bus had 52 elementary school students on board, WCMH Channel 4 reports.

A 2010 Honda Odyssey driving in the opposite direction crossed the center line, causing the bus driver to try to avoid a head-on collision, reports say. The Honda still hit the bus, causing it to go off the road and overturn onto its side, the patrol tells WDTN Channel 2.

A child was thrown from the bus when it overturned and died from injuries in the crash, WCMH reports. Of the 23 students injured, 13 were taken by ambulances to hospitals, while 10 were taken by private vehicles, reports say. One child sustained serious injuries, while the others had non-life-threatening injuries, WDTN reports.

“This morning’s school bus accident in Clark Co. is truly heartbreaking,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in an online statement. “Fran and I offer our sincere condolences to the family of the young child who was killed. Our hearts also go out to those on the bus and their families, peers, and teachers. Our prayers are with you all.”

The male driver of the Honda, age 35, and a passenger, 37, both were taken to a hospital. Their injuries are not life-threatening, reports say. The 68-year-old driver of the bus had minor injuries.

The school district has canceled classes for Wednesday. The district said it will have grief counselors available.

“Please pray for the terrified children, mothers and fathers, grandparents, and friends on this first day of school,” Clark County Commissioner Melanie Flax Wilt said in a statement on social media. “Pray for our school leaders, teachers, counselors, bus drivers and administrators. Please pray for their wisdom, safety and recovery.”
