Three students were checked out after reporting pain but were not hospitalized, Capelli told NJ.com.

Dump truck stops short

A Jackson public school bus rear-ended a dump truck on Toms River Road (Route 571) after the truck stopped short to avoid hitting a vehicle that pulled out in front of it, according to Jackson police Sgt. Fred Meabe.

The bus carrying students from the Switlick Elementary School unsuccessfully swerved to avoid hitting the dump truck. Five children complained to first responders about pain but were not hospitalized.

The students were picked up by another bus and returned to school where parents were able to pick up their children, according to Jackson school district spokeswoman Allison Erwin.

No citations were issued in either crash but remain under investigation.
