Three school buses from Reed-Custer Schools were involved in a crash Tuesday morning on I-55 in the Chicago suburbs, according to Illinois State Police. 

A multi-unit crash involving the buses happened around 8:35 a.m. at I-55 northbound at milepost 246 in Grundy County, police said. Minor injuries are reported at the scene, police said. 

Other school buses are on the way to the scene to help relocate students. Police said the Loves Truck Stop on the east side of I-55 is the current site for relocation.
