The driver of a 1998 Nissan Sentra that collided with a school bus in Bradley County on Monday is facing charges.

There were 33 students on the bus. Two were taken to the hospital with "minor injuries" from the wreck, according to Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman John Harmon.

Bradley County Director of Schools Linda Cash said in an earlier news release that three were taken to the hospital for "precautionary measures."

The bus was coming from Black Fox Elementary School after school.

It was on Old Chattanooga Pike, near Blackbox Road, when Anthony Webb, 33, crossed into the path of the bus while negotiating a curve, according to preliminary information from the Highway Patrol.

Webb has been charged with violating the Due Care Law and failing to maintain his lane.
