WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say three people were injured after their car collided with a Tampa Bay area school bus.
The Florida Highway Patrol reports that 56-year-old James Yant Jr. was preparing to get on an Interstate 75 onramp Thursday afternoon when he turned in front of a Pasco County school bus. The bus hit the passenger side of the 2000 Mazda 626.

Two adults in the bus weren’t injured. Four Wesley Chapel High School students sustained minor injuries and were released from the scene to their parents.
FHP says charges are pending.
