SOUTH HARRISON, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a school bus driver will face citations following a crash with a tractor-trailer that injured 14 students.

The crash in South Harrison occurred around 3:20 p.m. Monday. Authorities say the bus driver, whose name wasn't released, was trying to make a left turn and apparently didn't see the truck coming.

The truck, which was hauling sand, overturned and briefly leaked diesel fuel.

Authorities say the accident remains under investigation.
