A school bus with nine children aboard plowed into a Brooklyn bank this morning after the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The accident occurred at 7:43 a.m. this morning on W. Sixth Street near Avenue U in Gravesend.

The 61-year-old driver swerved into three parked cars before jumping a curb and smashing into a Capital One Bank.

The children were all taken to Coney Island Hospital as a precaution but appeared unharmed, officials said.

The driver, who was seriously injured, was rushed to Lutheran Hospital where he is in stable condition, officials said.

The children are students at I.S. 239 in Brooklyn. Police said no criminality is suspected at this time.
