Nearly 20 students were hospitalized Wednesday morning after a serious incident involving two Cleveland Independent School District (ISD) buses. The collision happened near Cleveland Middle School at Highway 105 and Highway 321. District officials stated that 17 children were taken to nearby hospitals for preventative assessments and minor injury treatment, even though the precise reason for the incident is still being looked into.
