A school bus with Federal Way Public Schools crashed Friday afternoon in Auburn.

Video from Chopper 7 over the scene at about 3 p.m. showed emergency responders and multiple ambulances.

Auburn police officials said four students with special needs were on board and are being treated for injuries.

School district officials said staff accompanied each child to the hospital.

The bus driver was also taken to the hospital, Whitney Chiang with Federal Way Public Schools said.
