Southern Regional Bus Administrator Michael Kane said another car crossed an intersection at Route 206 in Stanhope, NJ and skidded into the bus, causing minor injuries in five of the students. The students, one of the cheerleading coaches and the bus driver  were taken to area hospitals for treatment of minor injuries.  The remaining students continued onto a cheer camp in the Poconos.
