I just saw this on DTunes Radio.
Rescue crews transported five people, including the bus driver, this morning after a Disney's Magical Express bus and semi-tractor trailer crash shut down northbound Boggy Creek Road, just south of State Road 417.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said none suffered life-threatening injuries.
Investigators have not confirmed which driver ran the red light.
All northbound and southbound lanes of Boggy Creek Road are shut down. The northbound exit ramp to Boggy Creek Road from S.R. 417 also is closed.
The Disney bus involved in the crash transports passengers to and from Orlando International Airport.
FHP reports show there were 50 people on board at the time of the crash.
Troopers said 50-year-old bus driver Rockland B. Steel was traveling east on the exit ramp from northbound S.R. 417 and approaching Boggy Creek Road when he collided with the semi-tractor trailer which was traveling south on the roadway.
Officials identified the driver of the semi-tractor as 52-year-old Wayne Earle, of Palm Bay.
The crash dumped about 150 gallons of diesel fuel on the road.
The injured passengers and driver are at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
