HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - Three middle school students were released from the hospital, Friday, one day after they were involved in a school bus accident in Hialeah.

The driver of that bus was also transported and treated at Palmetto General Hospital after, police said, a dark colored sedan struck the bus, Thursday afternoon.

The driver of the sedan, 47-year-old Felix Padilla, was cited for careless driving.

Police said Padilla did not properly stop at a stop sign, causing the crash near West Third Avenue and 14th Street.

The bus, carrying 15 students from Miami Springs Middle School, swerved to try to avoid the collision and crashed into a concrete barrier.
