Two people were injured in the crash. 

Those injured were the bus driver and a 13-year-old passenger. They both were treated for minor injuries.

Both directions of Main Street near Lone Star Road were shut down after the school bus also hit a utility pole, causing power outages to traffic lights, which caused the road to be shut down. 

The bus was a privately owned school bus and didn't belong to any school districts.

Police confirmed that the 13-year-old injured was the family of the driver, and they crashed into the front porch of the home.

The driver believed that the bus had a mechanical malfunction, leading to the crash into the pole and then the home.
