Laramie County School District 1 says the students and staff, who were on a field trip, boarded a second bus and proceeded to their destination.

"At that time, families were notified," the district said in a news release.

Farkas says both drivers were cooperative and remained on the scene to assist officers with their investigation.

She says the driver of the Nissan was issued a citation for failure to yield at a left turn.
