Trooper Christopher Cronsell said the rearmost vehicle ran off the roadway after the impact.
There were 13 children and two adults on the bus at the time of the crash. None of them reported injuries. Emergency crews evaluated those on board at the scene, and school officials were notifying parents.
The driver of the Impala was transported by ambulance to a hospital. The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado suffered serious injuries and was flown from the scene. The driver of a Dodge Ram was also taken by ambulance. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
