NEW TAZEWELL, Tenn. (AP) - Two children and three adults were injured this morning when a school bus and a car collided in New Tazewell.

The most seriously injured was the driver of the car, 35-year-old Jennifer Snodgrass, who was transported to UT Medical Center in Knoxville and listed in critical condition.

Authorities said she hit the bus, which was leaving Tazewell Primary School for a field trip to a park.

Two adults and two children were taken from the bus and treated at Claiborne County Hospital for minor injuries.

The children are in a summer program held in all Claiborne County Schools.
