Hudson, MN : 8 hurt after crash involving school bus on I-94 in Hudson on Thursday, 25th April 2024

Eight people were hurt Thursday morning in a crash involving a school bus near the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.

It happened at around 10:30 a.m. on Interstate 94 in Hudson.

The Wisconsin State Patrol says two lanes of westbound I-94 were closed for construction and, as vehicles were merging onto the interstate from Wisconsin Highway 35, a car stopped to allow a vehicle to merge. That caused other vehicles to hit the brakes, and a school bus carrying students from DeLong Middle School in Eau Claire rear-ended an empty CMV tanker trailer.

Authorities say six people on the school bus suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene. Two others were taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries that the State Patrol also considered minor.

The crash remains under investigation.
