MARIETTA, Ga. — A school bus was involved in a traffic accident Wednesday morning with a pickup truck, resulting in at least four kids who complained of "bumps and bruises," police said.

There were no other "visible injuries" besides the four children who asked to be taken to medical facilities, they said. Twenty kids were on board. 

Marietta City Schools said the bus was headed to Park Street Elementary School.

The Marietta Police Department said it happened around 8 a.m. near South Marietta Parkway and Lake Drive.

The officers responding on scene reported it as a "normal accident" and "nothing out of the ordinary" or extensive, the department said.

In a statement, from Marietta City Schools Chief Communications Officer Jen Brock, the school system said: "Any questions regarding the ongoing investigation about the accident should be directed to MPD. Our priorities are making sure our students are safe and that any injuries, which in this incident appear to be minor, are treated, and to contact the families of the students who were in the bus at the time of the accident."
