A 41-year-old woman died after her car collided head-on with a school bus on State Route 94 in Potrero on Friday afternoon, NBC 7 San Diego reported Tuesday, citing the California Highway Patrol.

CHP said the woman crossed into oncoming traffic on a curve around 3:34 p.m. and struck the bus. The impact sent her car into a raised berm and the bus off the road, where it struck a fence, a telephone pole and two mailboxes.

The bus driver, a 53-year-old man, and three students suffered minor injuries. The woman was pronounced dead by medical personnel, according to CHP.

The cause remains under investigation. Authorities said drugs or alcohol did not appear to be factors.
