Sun Sentinel-DAVIE - The driver of a school van was found at fault in a wreck that sent seven children and three adults to the hospital. The woman was driving a Nob Hill Academy van Monday afternoon when she crashed into a car and a minivan on the 7600 block of Stirling Road. No charges have been filed against her yet, Police Sgt. Greg Gasse said. He did not know the current condition of the victims.

One woman was seriously hurt and the seven children suffered minor injuries in the 2:45 p.m. crash, he said. The children were riding in the eastbound school van when it failed to stop for a Broward County school bus in another eastbound lane as it was dropping off students, Gasse said. The van kept going, hit a minivan and pushed it into the median, then hit a white sedan, Gasse said. The minivan and white sedan had both stopped for the school bus. The school van went over the median and landed in the westbound lanes. No one in the county school bus was hurt.

Thirteen patients were treated on the scene; seven children and three adults were taken to various hospitals, Fire-Rescue spokesman Braulio Rosa said. A woman was transported in critical condition to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. All the children had minor injuries, Rosa said. Some were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital and others to Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines. The Nob Hill Academy van had a sign on its side that said "infant afterschool care." Police are investigating.
