The Toyota minivan driver blew a stop sign before the crash sent the school bus careening onto a residential lawn at Boulevard and Graphic Boulevard around 9 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, Police Chief Brian T. Clancy said.

Holy Name Medical Center EMS transported a minivan passenger and the two adults from the Joshua Tours bus out of Passaic to area hospitals, the chief said.

A parent brought the 8-year-old student to their doctor, he said.

Police issued four summonses to the minivan driver, Clancy said.

All Points Towing sent a heavy wrecker to remove the vehicles.

It was the second school bus crash in Bergen County to send a youngster to the hospital this week. A multi-vehicle collision in Ridgewood injured an 11-year-old special needs student when the driver ran a red light, the village police chief said.
