Northampton County, PA : Two tractor-trailers and a school bus crash on I-78 in Lower Saucon Township on Tuesday, June 7, 2016

Two tractor-trailers and a school bus crashed about 10:25 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate 78 West near the Route 33 interchange in Lower Saucon Township, according to a Northampton County emergency dispatch supervisor.

A supervisor at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem Township and a Pennsylvania state trooper said the students' injuries were minor.

The bus was on its way to Dorney Park for a senior class trip with students from Wayne Valley High School, Assistant Principal Keith Parian said.

Parian, who was at the hospital, referred all questions to the Passaic County school's central administration office. The superintendent didn't immediately return a phone message.

The truck drivers had more serious injuries, dispatches said.

A cellphone video shot by a student shows the crash from inside the bus, northjersey.com reports.

All lanes were shut westbound for more than an hour, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokesman Ron Young said.

A Fed-Ex tractor-trailer was in the median and the school bus was in the middle lane, a witness said. A tanker truck was the third vehicle, Young said.

About 11:30, at least one lane reopened. The highway was fully reopened about by noon.
