Seven were sent to the Connecticut Children&#8217;s Medical Center, he said, two went to Middlesex Hospital, one went to Hartford Hospital and one went to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The small bus appears to have collided with a Jeep Wrangler, which struck another car. The third vehicle then hit a fourth car.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The school bus reportedly collided with two cars, Skoczulek said. The extent of injuries is unknown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The term &#8220;mass casualty incident&#8221; means that more resources are needed because of the number of patients.
