LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- First responders are on the scene of a crash involving a Jefferson County Public Schools bus and a Ford pickup truck on Newburg Road near Trevilian Way. 

MetroSafe confirmed it received reports of an injury crash around noon Wednesday. There were no students on the bus. Pictures from the scene show JCPS Bus No. 0683 with substantial damage to its front end. 

Another picture shows a truck with damage to the front and driver's side of the vehicle. No further information is available at this time. 

A news release from LMPD said preliminary investigation indicates that the pickup truck, driven by an adult female, swerved into the path of the bus and collided with it head-on. JCPS spokesman Mark Hebert said the female driver of the bus -- who was on a practice run -- was taken to the hospital with injuries, but the extent of those injuries are not known. 

First responders had to extricate the woman from the pickup truck before she was taken to UofL Hospital with serious injuries.
