A frightening scene unfolded Thursday afternoon on South Cole Avenue in Spring Valley when a large tree suddenly came crashing down onto a bus carrying children.

Spring Valley Police and Spring Hill EMS rushed to the scene as emergency crews worked quickly to secure the area and check on those aboard the bus.

In what many are calling a miracle, only minor injuries were reported despite the dramatic impact.

Photos from the scene showed the massive tree resting across the bus as first responders and utility crews worked to safely clear the roadway.
