LOWER MORELAND TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- A pickup truck was wedged under a school bus after a crash in Lower Moreland Twp., Montgomery County.

The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. Thursday at County Line and Pine roads.

Video from Chopper 6 showed a number of firefighters and first responders on the scene.

The driver of the pickup truck was trapped inside the vehicle before being extricated just before 7 p.m.

There was no immediate word on the driver's condition.

Officials said the bus was transporting Lower Moreland Township School District at the time of the crash. Police say there were no injuries to those onboard.

"As some may be aware, one of our activity buses was involved in an accident this evening while completing the late bus run. Fortunately, the bus was largely empty at the time of the accident, with only a few of our students on the bus," the school district said in a statement.

School counselors will be available for students on Friday.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
