A school bus carrying twenty children was involved in a two-vehicle collision at a notoriously dangerous junction outside Wexford town this morning.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, a junction well-known as the scene of numerous vehicle collisions in recent times.
The collision between the bus and the car happened just before 8.30am on the main N25 road at Larkin's Cross.

While the National Ambulance Service quickly dispatched two ambulances to the scene, along with units from the Wexford Fire Service and An Garda Siochana, thankfully nobody was seriously injured.
Paramedics assessed the drivers of both the bus and car along with the children at the roadside but there was no need for anybody to be hospitalised as a result of the collision.
There were, however, significant traffic delays, during a period of significant work and school-related traffic.
The junction at Larkin's Cross has been the subject of significant debate in recent times at Wexford County Council meetings, with several local representatives branding it a 'death trap'.
Director of Services at Wexford County Council Eamon Hore said at a recent meeting that Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TIH) had 'no intention' of putting a long-sought roundabout at the N25 junction despite protestations of councillors and locals.
