(FAYETTEVILLE) -- More than a dozen students of Cumberland County Schools were taken to the hospital after a crash involving a bus Friday afternoon. The bus was rear-ended by a pickup truck around 4:00 on U.S. Highway 301, south of Wade.

Fourteen-year-old Tracy Chapman was one of the riders taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. He tells WTVD the impact was significant.

"Glass flew everywhere, people got cut, glass flew all the way to the front and cut through people's actual pants and cut them," he said.

The pickup truck driver, 41-year-old Jesus Antonio Jose, was also transported to the hospital. He has been charged with DWI, reckless driving and failing to reduce speed to avoid colliding with a vehicle. He was last listed as being in serious condition.
