No children on the bus at the time, Bueno said.
Chad Oliver, spokesperson for Collier County Public Schools, said the driver had just finished dropping off students at Aubrey Rogers High School, 15100 Veterans Memorial Blvd., when the crash happened.
Oliver confirmed a student enrolled in Collier County Public Schools was involved in the incident. He added that the school district will follow post-accident procedures, which involve drug and alcohol testing for the bus driver.
"The driver could return to the route after a negative test and the required additional training following an accident," Oliver said.
