Connecticut school bus hits house, no serious injuries

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) A school bus crashed through a utility pole and struck a house in Stamford. Officials say several students were taken to a hospital, but no one was seriously hurt.

School officials say the bus was carrying students from Turn of River Middle School when it crashed shortly after 1 p.m. Friday. It wasn't immediately clear how many students were on the bus. Stamford schools let out early Friday because of an incoming snowstorm.

Many students on the bus were taken to Stamford Hospital as a precaution.

It's not clear what caused the accident. Police are investigating.

Crews with the power company Eversource shut off electricity to the area as a precaution while they fixed the pole, leaving hundreds of customers without power.
