SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Miami-Dade County school bus was involved in a collision during the early hours of Tuesday morning, leading to traffic disruptions and temporary road closures in the area.
The incident took place beneath the Turnpike overpass on Southwest 216th Street.
While details remain limited, it is believed that a black suburban vehicle and a school bus were involved in the crash.

Commuters are advised to anticipate slowdowns and seek alternate routes.
Upon arriving at the scene, first responders were observed providing assistance to the school bus driver, who was subsequently placed onto a stretcher. She was transported to a local hospital and officials said her injuries are non-life threatening.
No injuries were reported regarding the students on the bus.
Another bus was dispatched to take the students to school. The route was servicing students from Southridge Senior High.
