Two elementary school students were taken to Creighton University Medical Center to be checked over after their OPS bus was involved in a crash Friday morning.

It happened just before 9 a.m. near 31st and Meredith. Neither of the children were seriously injured. Another bus was brought in to take the children to school.

Police say both drivers were ticketed, the bus driver for running a stop sign and the driver of the other vehicle for not having a driver's license. The citation indicates that the bus driver was distracted and didn't see the stop sign or the other vehicle approaching the intersection.

"It is few and far between, it's just you are transporting something as special as children, it is always going to be a major thing." Trevis Sallis is the transportation director for Omaha Public Schools and he knows accidents come with the job, but says when taken in perspective, the OPS accident rate is far below average.

Combined OPS and First Student drivers haul 17,000 kids every day and put on almost eight-million miles a year.
