A Northville school bus heading to Winchester Elementary School slid off the roadway and into a tree on Franklin Road Tuesday morning, according to an email from the Winchester listserv.

None of the 18 students on the bus were injured and they were able to board another bus to school.

The email from the district gives details on what happened in the incident:

For your awareness, there was a bus incident involving Bus N resulting from icy road conditions. The vehicle was driven by an experienced driver, and was on Franklin when it started to slide. The bus slid off the road sideways, into a tree, and came to a stop. No student or adult injuries were reported. At the time, the bus was carrying 18 students.
