Twelve people, including at least nine children, were hospitalized Friday after a dump truck and a school bus collided in Holyoke, Mass., according to a report from WWLP-TV.

“As soon as I saw that school bus my chest wanted to pop out,” Carmen Santiago, a witness who spoke to WWLP-TV. “They were really afraid. They were scared, they were crying, they wanted their parents. I saw mothers running up the streets from everywhere. They just wanted to see their child.”

No serious injuries were reported.
