Douglas County Sheriff's Office said Georgia State Patrol responded to the crash brought the children and adults to their office. Deputies said another bus would pick them up from there and that the bus was coming from Birmingham, Alabama. 

According to Georgia State Patrol, the bus is owned by a Birmingham day care and some juveniles on the bus were treated for "minor injuries on scene with mostly bumps and bruises."
