There were no students on board either bus at the time, and both drivers were able to walk away unharmed.

The tree landed on the roofs of both vehicles, shattering windows and one windshield.

Tree falls on school buses


"My wife heard the crash and looked out, and the tree, which was two trees in one, had fallen on not only one bus, but two buses at the same time," one neighbor said. "Fortunately, everybody was OK. Both bus drivers got out. There were no children...thank God."

Strong winds are believed to be responsible for the tree coming down.
