CAMDEN, NC — Three vehicles — two Camden County school buses and a car — were involved in a crash on the road that leads to Camden Middle School Friday, according to Camden County Sheriff J. Kevin Jones.
Officials tell WTKR News 3's Will Thomas that people were hurt and taken to the hospital as a result of the crash on Scotland Road. Camden County Schools have since shared that some minor injuries occurred, and both students and adults were taken to the hospital.

A reunification site was set up at the school for families to pick up their child. Just before 6 p.m., the school district told WTKR News 3 that all students have reunited with their families. That statement can be found below:
"This afternoon there was a bus accident involving a personal vehicle, Bus #80 and Bus #83 from Camden County Schools. EMS and law enforcement responded very quickly, and all students were reunited with their parents/guardians at our reunification site.
Some minor injuries did occur, and students and adults who were transported to the hospital by EMS have also been reunited with their parents/guardians.
We appreciate the patience and support of all the parents and first responders. We would like to thank all of the Camden County School employees, the Camden Sheriff’s Department, and Camden, Currituck, and Elizabeth City-Pasquotank EMS, who quickly responded to the situation."
It is unclear what caused the crash at this time. Scotland Road was closed while law enforcement investigated and the road reopened around 6 this evening. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol has taken over the investigation. We will continue to update our viewers when we know more.
