"When we first got here, it was seven injured, then 10 injured and the number just kept going up," Brian Haas, spokesman for Nashville Fire Department told the Tennessean.
One student suffered a broken collarbone; while two other had serious injuries to their arms, according to authorities.
School officials said Friday evening that most of the students had returned to Chester County and the injured students were with their parents.
Haas told the paper many firefighters and police who respond to crashes around the metro area have kids, and scenes like Friday's are especially alarming.
"It's every parent's worst nightmare," Haas said. "When you've got a school bus possibly full of kids ... we kick into another level of response time.
