Police say the crash happened on Smithfield Road around 3 p.m.
Investigators say the bus was stopped and dropping off students when it was hit from behind.
Police say a sedan driven by a 45-year-old Belgrade woman was legally stopped behind the bus when it was rear ended by a minivan driven by a 24-year-old Belgrade man.
That crash pushed the sedan into the bus, where it was wedged underneath.
