A school bus was rear-ended this morning, and one student was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The accident happened on Good Hope Road on the way to Menomonee Falls High School.

All other students on the bus arrived at school about 20 minutes late.

According to a news release, the bus was stopped at the intersection at Flint Drive when it was rear-ended by a car whose driver reportedly thought the bus was going to move through the intersection on the yellow light.

Menomonee Falls School District officials said there was minor damage to the bus and one student was taken to Community Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.

High School Principal Dr. Gary Kiltz met with the students to make sure they were doing well physically and emotionally after the accident.

Parents of the students on the bus are being notified directly by Student Services.

The district is cooperating with police and the bus company in regards to accident investigation.
