Traffic investigators from the Youngstown Police Department were on the scene of an accident involving an Austintown School bus and another vehicle early Thursday.

It happened before 9:30 a.m. along Interstate 680 near the Mahoning Avenue overpass.

An ambulance was dispatched to the accident scene.

According to Austintown School officials, there were 3 students on the bus at the time of the accident. One student was taken by ambulance to the hospital, which school spokesperson Brittany Morell said was precautionary.  One of that child's parents reached out to our newsroom to say they were getting x-rays.  

The Ohio Department of Transportation says drivers on southbound I-680 may experience lane closures in the area.
