Officials say the driver of a sedan drove through a red light and collided with a mini school bus at the intersection of Sunrise Highway and North Delaware Avenue in North Lindenhurst just before 5 p.m.
There were eight passengers on the bus, including five children 5 years old or younger.
The driver, an aide and a teacher were also on the bus, and were taken to a local hospital -- along with four of the children -- for treatment of minor injuries.
The parents of a fifth child declined medical attention on behalf of the child.
The driver of the sedan was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They will be issued summonses for traffic violations.
