A South Riding woman has been charged after her car struck a school bus loaded with students from Mercer Middle School Tuesday afternoon, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said.

Car-Bus Collision

Eun O. Wang, 37, was charged with reckless driving. According to witnesses, Wang, who was driving a 2003 Honda Accord, was traveling on Edgewater Street at about 3:45 p.m. and didn't stop at a stop sign on Donavan Drive, authorities said.

None of the 34 students aboard the bus was seriously injured, authorities said.

A 9-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl who were passengers in Wang's car were taken to Inova Fairfax with non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition, the sheriff's office said. Wang is the mother of the two children.

The driver of the bus and a 12-year-old student received minor injuries in the crash but declined medical treatment, the sheriff's office said.
