BALTIMORE COUNTY — 11 people were injured after a bus crashed into a building in Parkville Tuesday afternoon.

The Baltimore County Fire Department says the crash happened in the 7900 block of Harford Road.

Preliminary investigation reveals the driver of a 2017 Ford Focus was traveling southbound on Harford Road when it crossed into the northbound lane, entering the path of the school bus.

This caused the school bus to crash into a building in the 8700 block of Harford Road.

A 2014 Nissan Altima was also struck by the Ford Focus.

Officials say two adults and one child were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

Eight additional people were treated on scene and refused medical treatment.

WMAR has learned that these students belonged to the Maryland School for the Blind.

"MSB administrators responded immediately to the scene. We are grateful to the Baltimore County Fire Department, EMS, law enforcement, and hospital personnel for their prompt response and care," the school said in a statement.

Drivers can expect closures along Harford Road near Taylor Avenue.
