The accident occurred in the 600 block of North Indiana Avenue around 9:48 a.m. According to Oklahoma City Fire Battalion Chief Brian Stanaland, EMSA took 12 people to the hospital with injuries, two people from the SUV and 10 from the bus.

One person was listed in serious condition, but all the injuries are considered non-life threatening.
