No one was hurt when a Union Pacific train slammed into a Westwood CSD schools bus Wednesday in Woodbury County.

It happened just after 7:30 a.m. on 275th Street near CR K-45, according to the Woodbury County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities said the bus was crossing the tracks when the bus stalled. It couldn't get off the tracks in time.

The driver of the bus and another person got out of the bus before it was hit by a train heading southbound. The bus was around 180 degrees.

Iowa State Patrol is investigating.
