Lakewood police said early Wednesday afternoon that they were preparing to release a statement about the incident.

Children on the bus told The Scoop the bus was carrying 30-40 students to a private school when the driver fell off his seat and lost control of the bus. None of the children on board were injured in the crash, according to The Scoop.

A woman who answered the phone at Jay's Bus Service told New Jersey 101.5 the company had no comment.

It was the second school bus crash involving a Jay's bus in the past month.  A bus carrying 15 students to a private Jewish girls school on Sept. 14 hit an unoccupied parked car.

A police report obtained by the Asbury Park Press said had been trying to illegally pass another car for several blocks. Lakewood police spokesman Gregory Staffordsmith told New Jersey 101.5 that a final police report was not available because the investigation was ongoing.
