A school bus tangled up with several vehicles Thursday morning, causing a jam-up in Miami Gardens. The intersection of Northwest 183rd Street and 17th Avenue became a no-go zone as police and emergency crews went to work on the snafu.

The mangled mess seen from 7Skyforce featured the bus, branded with route number 2419, and two SUVs that got the worst of it. According to WSVN, despite the mishap, kids on the bus miraculously walked away without a scratch, the sight of anxious parents arriving at the scene notwithstanding. Another bus showed up, not as a participant in the crash, but as a shepherd to carry the little ones off to their school day.

The tangle-up had drivers taking the scenic route, with traffic redirected to sidestep the chaos. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews carted off at least one person to the hospital, signaling the seriousness of the incident. A trauma alert was declared, ratcheting up the tension for an unfortunate soul caught up in the morning's turmoil.

Eye-in-the-sky coverage from Chopper 6 shared by NBC Miami gave a bird's eye view of the mess mucking up the intersection, with law enforcement and rescue teams swarming the site. The true picture of the morning's bedlam remained fuzzy with unknowns swirling around—questions about the students on the bus and the injured, their conditions secrets held close by the unfolding day.

Authorities have yet to unravel the skein of events that led to the crash. The commuters, however, were given clear detour instructions—NW 199 Street or NW 175 Street to steer clear of the gridlock. The investigation into the cause of the mash-up trundles on.
