The bus was stopped at a red light, but the force of the impact pushed the bus into the intersection at Northeast 23rd and Martin Luther King, blocking the intersection for about an hour.
The driver of the car was transported to a local hospital.
His wife was at the scene; Bonnie Ware says her husband may have suffered internal injuries, but she believes he will make a full recovery.
Kathleen Kennedy with Oklahoma City Public Schools says there were 13 students on the bus at the time of the accident.
She says four students were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.
The other nine students were either picked up by their parents or transferred to another bus and taken to school; the bus driver was not injured in the accident.
The bus had damage to the back driver's side.
The car that slammed into the bus was smashed in on the front and the roof peeled away; however, witnesses at the scene say the driver was able to get out of the car on his own and was even walking around the scene before he was transported to the hospital.
