The wreck occurred shortly before 7:30 a.m. on a service road of the Long Island Expressway near 68th Street, injuring 12 people, the FDNY said.
The 10 students on the bus were taken to Elmhurst Hospital for observation and their parents were notified, a Department of Education spokeswoman said.

All the injuries appeared to be minor, the FDNY said.
