Multiple children were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries Tuesday after a school bus from Malden crashed in Charlestown around 7:20 a.m., Boston Police said.

The bus was operated by Malden Transportation, Inc., and was carrying special needs students going to various schools in Boston, according to company manager Ed Barry.
