Landherr and Bruggeman were transported to the hospital in Austin before being taken by ambulance to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester. The Minnesota State Patrol is handling the full report, and Amazi couldn’t offer full details about the bus driver or children. The State Patrol lists the bus driver as 41-year-old Kim Bissen of Rose Creek. An 8-year-old girl on the bus sustained minor injuries and was taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin.

The Southland Public Schools principal, superintendent and other school officials quickly tried to notify parents of every student on the bus. They couldn’t offer more information as of late afternoon about how many students were on the bus or the extent of injuries.
