(MSC News)--No injuries are reported after a school bus fails to stop in time at a red light, leading to a five vehicle crash at a busy Topeka intersection. .

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports it happened shortly before noon Friday, at South West 21st and Gage, while the Royal Valley School District bus was carrying 38 students.

The newspaper reports the bus was heading to a skating rink where the students from the Royal Valley Middle School, in Mayetta, were having an end of the school year field trip.

Following the crash, a nearby sandwich shop provided the students with food.

The bus incurred damage to its front end and was towed from the scene.

Another bus later picked up the students.

A police official cited by the newspaper says the bus began to slow for a red light, but was unable to stop quickly enough, causing it to collide with a car in front of it.

That set off a chain reaction crash.
