The students were OK, a passenger in one of the other vehicles was rescued by Berwyn Fire Company first responders using the "jaws of life."
A minivan carrying school students was involved in a three-vehicle collision after 4 p.m. Monday on North Valley Forge Road, north of Timber Lane.
The minivan was carrying two students home from Pathways in Audubon. Jim Hogan, the minivan driver said that the students were upset, but not hurt. Their parents took them home from the scene.
